Where to Eat

Pictured above and left, DELTA RIVERS NATURE CENTER is the first of eight nature centers built in Arkansas by the state’s Game and Fish Commission. The visitor center, modeled on a waterfowl hunting lodge, is situated on 130 acres of bottomland between Lake Langhofer and Black Dog Bayou. Inside, visitors will discover a 20,000-gallon aquarium that replicates the underwater environment of an oxbow lake with a diverse population of native fish. Other exhibits include preserved specimens of birds, mammals and reptiles; displays that tell the history of The Delta, the changing characteristics of our rivers and the importance of our wetlands. There are also exhibits for hunting and fishing. Children love climbing onboard a vintage “biplane” and flying over various areas of The Delta as they learn about the wildlife and habitat.


Outdoors, visitors can observe feeding of fish, alligators and birds, including eagles; explore the fora and fauna of Jefferson County on four trails, ranging in length from an easy, quarter-mile paved walking trail to the three-quarter-mile primitive trail designed for hiking enthusiasts. All the trails offer splendid opportunities to see beautiful wildflowers (no picking, please) and various forms of wildlife at work and play in their natural habitat.

Take a look at a mode of transportation that never leaves the ground. The ARKANSAS RAILROAD MUSEUM, permanent home of steam engine 819, a 4-8-4 Northern-type locomotive that was the last built at the Pine Bluff yard. Along with the 1909 Baldwin-built 336, both are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and both are housed at the Arkansas Railroad Museum. The collection includes several rare diesel locomotives, a complete steam wrecker train, cabooses, a snow plow and other examples from the railroad era of yesteryear.


Also housed in the vast structure are collections of railroad memorabilia and a working scale-model railroad layout.

Pine Bluff offers a variety of lodging options. We recommend these properties for the high standards that you expect to find at nationally branded hotels and suites and for their convenient access from the airport.


The museum is open Monday through Saturday, 9:00AM until 2:00PM. (Hours may be curtailed during extreme outdoor temperatures.) Call ahead for special guided tours. Location is 1700 Port Road, just off U.S. Highway 65B. Phone 870.535.8819 or visit the official website.

★★★★★“Jimmy and Daniel took great care of my airplane while I stored it at PBF for a week. I couldn't have asked for a better overall experience. I also hear that the food at the restaurant is excellent, but didn't have a chance to try it.”

– C. Montgomery, June 22, 2016

For a healthful way to spend an afternoon enjoying magnificent lake views, visit the scenic LAKE SARACEN WALKING TRAIL that follows along the shoreline of Lake Saracen. The trailhead is located just east of the pavilions at Saracen Landing. Keep track of your mileage using mile markers placed along the trail. Less experienced walking enthusiasts will appreciate the benches placed conveniently along the trail. The trail is a recent winner of the Arkansas Governor’s Fitness Award.

Saracen Landing is one

of the newest public-use facilities in Pine Bluff, and

is part of the the Pine Bluff Parks and Recreation Department. The centerpiece of the

park is a pavilion complex which is home to the Farmers Market. The pavilion may be

reserved for private events by calling the Pine Bluff Parks and Recreation Department.


Saracen Landing is located at 200 Lake Saracen Drive in Pine Bluff, just off Martha Mitchell Expressway, across from the Jefferson County Courthouse.

If your palate is craving a different meal from home-style fare conveniently offered at Grider Field Restaurant inside the airport terminal building, there are several chain restaurants scattered across the city that will meet your needs for an easy, reliable meal. But for a taste of authentic local flavor, we invite you to try any of these one-of-a-kind Pine Bluff restaurants within a few minutes’ drive of the airport.
