Arkansas Oak Natural Area, located in the south-central subdivision of the West Gulf Coastal Plain, supports a number of plant species considered to be rare in Arkansas. Four plant associations are present on the site: an open sand barren, a dry upland forest dominated by Arkansas oak, a creek-bottom community along Mill Branch, and a seep community containing an exceptionally diverse flora. The natural area adjoins Poison Springs State Forest and is co-managed with the Arkansas Forestry Commission.
