Description
This is known as the CCC Overlook in Petit Jean State Park. It is one of the most beautiful view points of the park. If you love to visit state parks, Petit Jean State Park should be towards the top of your list. It is a 3,471-acre park located in Conway County, Arkansas and is managed by the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism. It is located on top of Petit Jean Mountain and is adjacent to the Arkansas River in the area between the Ouachita Mountains and Ozark Plateaus. Petit Jean was a young 18th century French woman. When she discovered her fiance planned to explore the Louisiana Territory, she cut her hair, disguised herself as a boy. She managed to find a position as a cabin boy and was able to survive the voyage. The expedition began their exploration. When they reached the area of the mountain, the young woman became ill, and on her deathbed she revealed herself to her fiance, so the legend says. She was buried on the mountain, not under her own name, but under the name she had been known by on the ship "Little John".
