The park includes about of land. It is located on both sides of Arkansas Highway 76, about northwest of
Camden in
Ouachita County. Highway 76 was constructed along the historic road that was used by the Union supply train when it was roadblocked and attacked by the
Confederate force during the battle. The improved portion of the park, with a picnic area and
interpretive signs, is located on the north side of the highway. The battle, however, covered a much larger area, estimated at more than . The surrounding area is in roughly the same condition as it was at the time of the battle. The land that was then under cultivation has since been allowed to revert to forest. The heavily wooded park features a small interpretive display and a shady trail. Sightings of
deer and
woodpeckers are common along the trail. The park provides an excellent example of the
Gulf Coast forest region, consisting primarily of
pine trees, but with some oak and with
dogwood understory trees. ==See also==
