Travel Guide

Another shot of lake Louemma. Such a beautiful sight! I couldn't let it pass. This place is a little local "pond" used mainly for finishing.

Free trolley ride in Downtown Van Buren. Christmas lights light the Main Street. High school students play Christmas carols for people waiting for the next ride on the train. 
For a moment, it was like a scene from Gilmore Girls.
This 1.5 mile – moderate trail is called Crack in the Rock for obvious reasons.
You’ll be able to enjoy the creek and the waterfall on the way up.
Train bridge behind the chicken plant. It's especially beautiful during sunset.

Breakfast was good, with a variety of items, but it depends on machines (coffee, pancakes, etc.) that didn's always work well. The facilities were clean, but no spotless. Over all a good place to stay.

I have not had enough time in Van Buren to give an opinion on the town itself. Just stay far, far away from the Quality Inn in Van Buren.
