Peak Arkansas fall foliage colors are usually mid to late October and into November. By the 3rd week in October, colors are in full swing. By the 4th week, colors are at their peak. The first week or 2 of November will still hold some color, but many of the leaves have fallen from the trees.
UPDATE: As of the 3rd week of October, there is plenty of color in NWA, but not yet at its peak. Meteorologists are predicting a slightly later peak than usual, during the first week of November. NWA colors change before Central Arkansas.

Absolutely gorgeous!! Fall is the perfect time to go for a hike because of the cooler weather, and how could you say no to that scenery?!
We made a quick drive through Arkansas last fall. I had always wanted to go through the Ozarks. Beautiful area.

Beautiful fall colours!! I’ve never been to Arkansas so it was nice to read about it and see the pics!
I live in upstate ny by the Adirondack park line. Your foliage is very similar to ours! It’s a beautiful time to get outdoors and take a nature walk!
