点评:Meals at the lodge were excellent. All employees were friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to help us. We were pleasantly surprised that each Arkansas State Park has an interpreter (a person who interprets flowers and fauna). Ivory is Queen Wilhelmina's interpreter. You might check to see which days she works, before planning your trip. She led us on a great hike on the Lovers' Lane Trail, answered numerous questions, and gave us valuable tips.
You can stay in a lodge room. We chose to stay in a cabin -- the only cabin in the park: the Heathercliff House. It is a huge CCC cabin that has been completely renovated inside, providing a full kitchen and all the comforts of home: kitchen, living room with fireplace, bedroom with king size bed, loft with two beds, bathroom with a shower. If you want to stay in the cabin (not a lodge room), I suggest that you plan your visit when the cabin is available. Call the Park with potential dates and see when the cabin is available.
The only problem that we had was fog -- actually low clouds. We planned to hike the morning that we left, but the fog was so thick that we hardly could see 15 feet in front of ourselves. We were there in late April. Maybe fog isn't a problem later in the year; I don't know.
翻译:旅馆的餐食非常棒。所有员工都热情友好、知识渊博,并且乐于助人。我们惊喜地发现,每个阿肯色州立公园都配备了讲解员(负责讲解动植物)。艾弗里是威廉明娜女王州立公园的讲解员。建议您在计划行程前查询她的工作时间。她带领我们沿着情人小径进行了一次精彩的徒步旅行,解答了我们许多问题,并给了我们很多宝贵的建议。
您可以选择入住旅馆客房。我们选择入住小木屋——公园里唯一的小木屋:希瑟克利夫小屋。这是一座由民间资源保护队(CCC)建造的大型小木屋,内部经过全面翻新,配备了设施齐全的厨房和所有居家舒适设施:厨房、带壁炉的客厅、带特大号床的卧室、带两张床的阁楼以及带淋浴的浴室。如果您想入住小木屋(而不是旅馆客房),我建议您选择小木屋空房的日期前往。您可以致电公园,告知您的出行日期,并询问小木屋的空房情况。
我们遇到的唯一问题是雾——确切地说是低云。我们计划出发那天早上徒步旅行,但雾太浓了,能见度几乎不到15英尺。我们是在四月下旬去的。也许到了晚些时候雾就不是问题了;我不知道。
