The Janet Huckabee Arkansas River Valley Nature Center, located in Fort Smith (Sebastian County) is one of the four nature centers owned and operated by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. The center, named in honor of former Arkansas first lady Janet Huckabee, interprets the natural environment of the Arkansas River Valley, as well as expands upon the mission of the agency. The 14,000-square-foot nature center opened in 2006.
