Pea Ridge National Military Park Temporary Tour Road and Horse Trail Closure

The tour road at Pea Ridge National Military Park will be closed Wednesday, June 22, for the removal of a section of tour road. This is a part of a larger ongoing project within the park to replace and expand the current parking lots at the visitor center. This closure will mean that NO VEHICLES, BICYCLES, PEDESTRIANS OR HORSE TRAILERS will be allowed on the seven-mile tour road and the park equestrian trail will be closed for the day as well.

PLEASE NOTE: The closure may extend into Thursday, June 23, 2022, so visitors are encouraged to call the park or check our Facebook page ahead of time to verify that the tour road is open. Pea Ridge National Military Park preserves and commemorates the March 7-8, 1862, battle that helped Union forces maintain physical and political control of the state of Missouri. Administered by the National Park Service, the 4,300-acre battlefield is located 10 miles north of Rogers, just off US Highway 62.
