About Texarkana

With a metro area of 140,000, Texarkana is big enough to offer plenty of activities and a good quality of life, but it’s small enough that you won’t spend valuable time stuck in heavy traffic. There are plenty of outdoor activities available here, including fishing and boating in nearby lakes and rivers, and an extensive trail system. We also have a vibrant arts community, which includes the Texarkana Symphony, the Texarkana Regional Arts Center, and the Perot Theatre. We love it here, and we think you will too! We would love to show you our vibrant region in person.Until then, we encourage you to check out Our Texarkana, Visit Texarkana, and goTXK for more information.
