Dardanelle Rock, located in the Arkansas Valley,Yell County, is an exposure of Hartshorne sandstone that was folded into a synclinal structure when the Ouachita Mountains were formed and then breached through erosion by the Arkansas River to form a water gap. Dardanelle Rock has been a major landmark along the Arkansas River since the days of early Arkansas exploration. Parts of the outcrop are naturally devoid of vegetation. However, some slopes hold enough soil to support a forest of black oak, and mockernut hickory, and shortleaf pine.

Hunting is prohibited on this natural area.
