Assuming the visitation is court ordered, then no. If there is a legitimate reason the minor does not want to spend time with the parent (ie they're a drug abuse), then the custodial parent needs to petition the court for a modification of the visitation order.

Does a sixteen year old in Arkansas have the right to refuse to visit the noncustodial parent?

In Arkansas, a sixteen-year-old may express their wishes regarding visitation with a noncustodial parent, but the final decision typically rests with the court and the custodial parent. While the child's preferences are considered, especially at this age, they do not have the legal authority to unilaterally refuse visitation. If a child feels unsafe or uncomfortable, it's advisable for them to communicate their feelings to a trusted adult or legal representative. Ultimately, any changes to visitation rights would need to go through the legal system.

What options does a 17-year-old have if he doesn't want to participate in court ordered visitation with a parent?

unless the father is abusing the 17yr old physically or emotionally then there isn't much of a choice. Court order visitation is mandatory unless the parent with visitation relinquishes his or her right to do so. The option is for the custodial parent to file a petition on behalf of the minor requesting the visitation order be amended or rescinded. A 17-year-old would be given the opportunity to present reasons for the request to the judge, likewise, the parent who holds visitation rights would be allowed to file an objection.

If the parent has court-ordered visitation, yes. If there is a legitimate reason the child does not want to visit the parent, the custodial parent can petition the court to revise the visitation order. Be aware the court will not deny a parent the right to visitation without a very good reason, nor will they look kindly on a custodial parent who request it without a very good reason.
