Did you know you can be in three states at once?

Yes! You can stand in three states at the same time—Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas.

Tucked away in the quiet corners of East Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and Northwest Louisiana lies a hidden geographical gem: the Ark-La-Tex tri-state point, where you can stand in three states at once.

Unlike the polished Four Corners Monument out west, the Ark-La-Tex tri-point is more of a rustic adventure—no gift shop, no long lines, and definitely no pavement. Just trees, nature, and a bit of old-fashioned exploration.

The tri-point sits in a rural patch of land near Karnack, Texas , Rodessa, Louisiana, and Doddridge, Arkansas. The exact location is marked by a survey monument, a simple but satisfying reminder that you’re standing on the legal edge of three U.S. states at once.

The Ark-La-Tex tri-point might not make the front of a tourism brochure, but for those who love a good detour, it’s a hidden slice of American geography worth the trip.

The GPS coordinates for the Ark‑La‑Tex tri‑state point are approximately 33.019222° N, 94.043115° W.
