Arkansas Highway 19 (AR 19 and Hwy. 19) is a designation for two state highway in South Arkansas. The first route of 18.05 miles (29.05 km) runs from Louisiana Highway 159 (LA 159) north to U.S. Route 79B (US 79B) in Magnolia. A second segment runs 24.73 miles (39.80 km) north from US Route 371/Arkansas Highway 24 (US 371/AR 24) across Interstate 30 (I-30) to Narrows Dam at Lake Greeson.
The route begins at the Louisiana state line at Louisiana Highway 159 and runs north to serve as the western terminus for Highway 98 at Walkerville and later the eastern terminus of Highway 160 at Macedonia. The route continues northeast into Magnolia, where the route terminates at US Route 79B.
Highway 19 begins in Prescott at US 371/AR 24 in the northwest corner of town and runs northwest to meet Highway 200, which is a frontage road for Interstate 30. After the I-30 interchange, Highway 19 continues north to a brief overlap with Highway 29 entering Pike County. The overlap ends with Highway 29 running to Antoine and Highway 19 continuing to Delight. In Delight, the route begins a westbound overlap with Highway 26 for approximately 12 miles (19 km) to Murfreesboro. In Murfreesboro, Highway 19 splits and runs north to give access to the Greeson Wildlife Management Area, Riverside Use Area, and Narrows Dam Use Area. The highway terminates at Beacon Hill Road very near the Narrows Dam, which impounds the Little Missouri River to create Lake Greeson.
