Things to do in Jonesboro
Jonesboro sits atop Crowley’s Ridge, a narrow band of hills rising above the flat farmland of the Arkansas Delta, and serves as the business, medical and educational center for northeast Arkansas. Arkansas State University, home of the Red Wolves, is the city’s largest institution, and two regional hospital systems, St. Bernards and NEA Baptist, draw patients from across the region.
