	Dogpatch USA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dogpatch USA is a defunct theme park located on State Highway 7 between the cities of Harrison and Jasper in the state of Arkansas, USA, an area known today as Marble Falls.
		Dogpatch USA was a commercial success in its early years, and investors, buoyed with optimism about the park's future, decided to pursue extensive and heavily financed expansion in the form of a sister park, "Marble Falls", designed as a ski resort and convention center.
		Dogpatch USA floundered in the face of stiff competition in the Telcor years, especially from Silver Dollar City, which duplicated most of what Dogpatch USA offered but on a grander scale, and was only an hour's drive to the north.

		I remember the kissing rocks, the barrel ride, and the cute blonde hillbilly girl with her front teeth colored in fl (the last time I went to Dogpatch I was around 13 years old and my hormones were starting to kick in).
		I remember "having a heckuva day at Dogpatch USA".....as well as eating breakfast at some restraunt in the parking lot that had the dogpatch characters on the walls.

		Dogpatch, USA was a tiny theme park outside of Harrison, AR, not far from my hometown.
		It was based on the characters in Al Capp's comic strip "Li'l Abner." By the 1980's, when my family and I visited Dogpatch several times, it seemed to have given up hope of attracting a national audience.
		Of note (to me at least): Boar's Head Players, the summer season of theatre at the University of Arkansas, for whom I worked on several shows, was born of a collaboration with the forces behind Dogpatch.
