Roth Prairie Natural Area is a tallgrass prairie formerly managed for hay production. Big bluestem, Indiangrass and other grasses typical of tallgrass prairies dominate the sites. Prairie mounds, some up to 3 feet tall, can be seen on the property, indicating that the land has never been plowed or leveled. Roth Prairie Natural Area is one of the last few fragments of tallgrass prairie left in the Grand Prairie of eastern Arkansas. Before settlement, the Grand Prairie contained about 320,000 acres of prairie. Now, only one percent remains.

Hunting opportunities are very limited due to the WMA’s small size. While there is an archery deer season, the best hunting opportunity is for small game such as rabbits and quail.
