Also for Arkansas, no one ever talks about Mammoth Springs: LINK

Mammoth Spring is one of the world’s largest springs with nine million gallons of water flowing hourly.

Crater of Diamonds is unique, but for the average visitor it is just digging in the dirt for a few hours and learning about geology at the visitor's center.

Eureka Springs is cool.

Hot Springs is cool.

The best overall tourist attraction now is probably Crystal Bridges Museum and the grounds. It's free and you can spend all day there surrounded by beautiful, expensive stuff, and it is accessible to the Average Joe. Big money, low pretense--like Northwest Arkansas in a nutshell.

For Georgia i would say stephen c. foster state park. Okefenokee is pretty cool and not many people visit it.

It is, I hope, closed at the moment, but the only real answer is...

Bottom's Up in Fayetteville. A more wretched hive of scum and villainy you will never find unless you visit DC.

Come for the fully nude dancers. Leave for the fully nude dancers being perfectly willing to shank you.

I was going for unique, but...

Eureka Springs is definitely quirky(went on on a ghost tour at the Crescent Hotel there)

Hot Springs is awesome.

Certainly a must see.

Both Arkansas and Kentucky (along with Alaska, Montana. And Idaho) are two of the five domestic locales on my bucket list.
Growing up in Texas, I have zero clue how I’ve managed to miss a visit to Arkansas.
I need to get busy.

Cades Cove in the (and the reason for) the Great Smokey Mountain National Forest. Originally a mountain community in Blount County Tennessee it was preserved as an early example of mountain life as the center piece for the National park. A tourist stop to help Knoxville grow it later grew real tourist traps of pigeon forge (home of Dollywood) and Gatlinburg on the Tennessee side and Cherokee with its casinos on the north Carolina side.

****My family was split between Cades Cove and Chestnut Flats when the government used corrosion and eminent domain to steal the land from us and have tons of family buried in the church graveyards in Cades Cove. In the same generation my have resettled on land that was again stolen by the government, this time it was the TVA building a damn. The stories growing up kinda skewed my political and personal views of government. It didn't help that many relatives were moonshiners and often on the "wrong" side of the law.
