Recreational opportunities abound with the Ozark National Forest to the north and the Ouachita National Forest to the south. Both National Forests border Conway County. The Arkansas River borders the south edge of town and separates Morrilton and Petit Jean Mountain, home of Arkansas' first state park.

There are numerous clubs and organizations to meet the needs and interests of the residents. Among these are Kiwanis, GFWC Century League, GFWC Pathfinder Club, GFWC Adelaide, GFWC Literary Coterie, Rotary, Lions Club, Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of America, 4-H, sports clubs for youth activities, garden clubs, hunting clubs, fishing clubs, and many church related groups. Morrilton and Conway County are very active through their volunteer organizations and have received awards on both the state and national levels.

Morrilton and Conway County have had a steady growth pattern for many decades. As it continues to grow, the Morrilton Area Chamber of Commerce, City and County government continue to support both a friendly "down home" attitude and a strong business climate. The Morrilton area prides itself on being an excellent place to live, work, play and raise a family.

Quality of life is an important asset in the Morrilton area, with a large county medical center, superior private and public schools, a two-year college, numerous churches, a municipal airport, city, state, and federal parks, county fair-grounds, golf course, ball parks, fitness center, county library, interstate access and numerous facilities for meetings and conventions.
