Independence County is experiencing significant economic growth, driven by investments in local infrastructure and business expansion. Over the last year, the manufacturing sector has had notable expansions and relocations. Major revitalization projects in the area have attracted new retail and hospitality businesses, enhancing the local economy. Improvements in education are producing an even more skilled workforce that is the backbone of our community.
When considering a move, finding a place that offers both charm and opportunity is essential.
The Batesville area offers just that and more. Nestled in the scenic foothills of the Ozarks, our town seamlessly blends small-town charm with modern amenities. Our vibrant downtown area, friendly community, and picturesque landscapes make Batesville an inviting place to call home. With a rich history and a welcoming atmosphere, we pride ourselves on being a town where newcomers are greeted with open arms and quickly become part of our close-knit community.
Check out their stories.
THE KIEFFER FAMILY
We moved to Batesville for a job — and quickly discovered it was the perfect fit for our family, too. With three young boys, we love how Batesville blends smalltown charm with plenty to do together. We’ve found a supportive community that works hard to continually make this town even better, with a thriving downtown, endless outdoor adventures, and people who truly care. Moving here was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made — we’ve found close friends, a welcoming church home, and a place our family loves to call home.
We moved back to Batesville for the simple joy of raising our children close to their grandparents — in a community with deep, multi-generational roots, surrounded by family, history, and the kind of support that only a small town can offer. The beauty of Batesville — from its charming downtown to the peaceful river views — has always held a special place in our hearts. We're beyond grateful to call this place home…again!
A family visit during the pandemic opened our eyes to something remarkable in Batesville — a community rooted in faith, family, and education. When we had the flexibility to work remotely, we chose to make this place home. Now, our kids get to grow up with trails to explore, events to enjoy together, and a town that shines — especially at Christmastime.
We moved to Batesville because we were ready for something quieter and more meaningful. Life in the city had begun to feel like a blur — rushed and too crowded to enjoy. We stayed because we fell in love with the small-town way of life: the charm, the simplicity, and the comfort of familiar faces. This is a community that comes together, creating a warmth that’s hard to find elsewhere. And the scenery… nothing compares to the beauty that surrounds us here.
What is it about the water that attracts people? Maybe it’s the wild sounds — the roar, splash, and splatter of the water rushing over and between the rocks. Or, perhaps it’s the lure of breaking the glassy surface of a fog-covered river.
Either way, the miles of streams and rivers in Independence County offer anglers plenty of chances to land a trophy or catch a limit of various freshwater species. If you’re more of a leisure floater — we have something for you, too.
Running through the heart of Batesville is POKE BAYOU (also known as Polk Bayou, but that’s a debate for another time). It was home to the first settlement in the area and remains a hot spot for nature lovers today. The bayou winds through Batesville and spills into the White River. Anglers, kayakers, and canoers enjoy the bayou and its recreational opportunities. Public access points are available at Poke Bayou Park and near Bayou Street.
The mighty WHITE RIVER offers a wide range of boating adventures. Launch your boat above the dam at Kennedy Park or below the dam on Riverbank Road. Take a walk on the sandbar and skip rocks on the shores of the beautiful White River.
ROWE LAKE , located to the west of the Batesville Community Center, is a 2-acre lake stocked and managed by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC). The lake is home to annual youth fishing derbies and a cross-lake pedestrian walkway.
THERE’S A WHOLE WORLD TO EXPLORE OUT THERE. START RIGHT IN OUR BACKYARD, IN THE MOST GEOGRAPHICALLY DIVERSE LANDSCAPE IN ARKANSAS.
You can find another AGFC-managed waterway just south of the White River. RAMSEY SLOUGH features a boat ramp and a handicap-accessible fishing pier.
Lyon College’s BRYAN LAKE is a quiet fishing hole perfect for long walks with your dog. But, it’s also home to one of Lyon’s deepest traditions — the freshman raft race, where newcomers build cardboard boats and vie for bragging rights.
The JAMESTOWN WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA is managed by AGFC and is located on the county’s western side. Hunters have the opportunity to pursue a variety of species, including whitetail deer, quail, bear, squirrel, and turkey.
On the eastern border of the county, you’ll find JACKSONPORT STATE PARK at the confluence of the White and Black Rivers. There are several boat ramps, marinas, fishing piers, and swimming beaches.
The BATESVILLE GREENWAY is a scenic, multi-use trail system designed for walkers, joggers, runners, and cyclists. Beginning at White River Health, the trail winds past the Batesville Community Center, loops through Riverside Park, and connects Batesville High School and nearby neighborhoods to the Eagle Mountain area via a wooded, winding path that ends with a beautiful native-wood boardwalk. The newest segment stretches along Main Street, and a new connection breaking ground soon will link downtown to the newly renovated Riverside Park. Learn more at batesvilleparks.com.
JAMESTOWN CRAG is a popular sport-climbing destination in North Arkansas. The Crag has become a hot spot for outdoor recreation, with 100+ climbing routes on Arkansas sandstone and miles of hiking trails. Find Jamestown Crag on Facebook.

Pack up your ATV and head out to GREASY BEND OFFROAD PARK . With 70 miles of trails, you’ll encounter constantly changing terrain — sharp turns, inverted climbs, odd angles, and beginner-friendly courses — plus mud, sand, bluffs, rocky trails, and miles of White River frontage in Rosie, Arkansas.
The beauty of North Central Arkansas doesn’t stop at the county line. A perfect day trip begins with BLANCHARD SPRINGS CAVERNS STATE PARK , located north of Mountain View in the Ozark National Forest. Blanchard Springs is one of the most spectacular and carefully developed caves in the world, shaped by an active mountain spring that flows into the glassy trout waters of MIRROR LAKE
Next, explore OZARK FOLK CENTER STATE PARK , dedicated to preserving the music, crafts, and culture of the Ozarks. Open from mid-April to late October, the park invites visitors to watch artisans at work, stroll through the Heritage Herb Garden, and enjoy live Southern Mountain Music.
Continue north to MAMMOTH SPRING STATE PARK , home to one of the world’s largest natural springs. Flowing at more than nine million gallons of 58-degree water per hour, Mammoth Spring feeds the crystal-clear SPRING RIVER — famous for long pools, whitewater falls, and some of the best year-round floating in the state.
Round out your adventure with a trip to GREERS FERRY LAKE for swimming, boating, and fishing. Then swing through Heber Springs to take in the 50-foot cascade of BRIDAL VEIL FALLS before hiking to the top of SUGARLOAF MOUNTAIN, a 690-foot erosional remnant rising beside the LITTLE RED RIVER
JAMESTOWN CRAG, a popular sport-climbing destination in North Arkansas, is located just minutes from Batesville. With miles of hiking trails and 100+ bolted climbing routes on Arkansas sandstone, the Crag is one of the region's premier outdoor recreation spots.
The Crag sits on 50 acres of privately-owned land, and a gate code is required for entry. Be sure to secure your permit at jamestowncrag.com before heading out for a smooth, hassle-free visit.
Start your day with an inspiring bluff-side hike, taking in sweeping views before descending 93 feet on the GOAT TRAIL . Continue north through the lush valley, and at the far end of the property, climb the DOG WALK , ascending 106 feet to the top of the Crag.
No matter which trail you choose, Jamestown Crag offers stunning sunset views and opportunities to spot local wildlife — making every trip a memorable outdoor experience.
JAMESTOWN CRAG features 100+ BOLTED CLIMBING ROUTES on epic Arkansas sandstone. Routes range in difficulty from 5.13 to 5.5, making it an excellent area for beginners and advanced climbers.
Each fall, the KING OF THE CRAG climbing competition brings climbers together not just to compete, but to celebrate community and support the Crag itself. Every dollar raised helps fund access, maintenance, and continued development. Spend the day climbing, then stick around for awardwinning beans, exciting raffles, great music, and an unforgettable atmosphere.

Pardon our progress, y'all.
Batesville is on the rise — and we’re grateful to our residents for making it possible. In an overwhelming show of community pride and shared vision, voters approved a $145 million investment in major park renovations and essential water infrastructure improvements. This historic commitment lays the foundation for a more vibrant, connected, and resilient city.
Set along the banks of the majestic White River, the reimagined Riverside Park will celebrate Batesville’s natural beauty and heritage. Plans include an expansive trail system for walking, jogging, and biking; new sports courts; inclusive and nature-based play areas; water play zones; and a brand-new bike and skate park. The new Events Center will serve as a community hub, hosting gatherings, celebrations, and large-scale events.
Long-term plans call for extending the Greenway Trail from Riverside Park to Downtown, continuing the city’s dedication to outdoor recreation and connectivity. These expansions will be supported through matching grants secured in partnership with state and federal programs.
And we’re not stopping there. Batesville is replacing its 1960s-era water treatment plant with a modern, efficient system capable of

So instead of sharing charts and checklists (though we have those, too), we asked four locals — each in a different stage of life — to show us what a perfect day looks like for them: where they go, what they enjoy, and how they connect.
Because this isn’t just a nice place to visit. It’s a place to belong.

And the best part? Majestic river views, wooded trails, and open-air recreation are always just a few minutes away.
Float the White River. Hike a bluff. Catch a sunset that feels like a show. Whether you’re an adrenaline seeker or a nature lover, outdoor fun is always calling.
Kick off the day with a fresh cup at MORNINGSIDE COFFEE HOUSE
Sip slow, chat with familiar faces, and get energized for adventure.
Grab the bikes and hit the trails behind BATESVILLE HIGH SCHOOL — or load up the kayaks and fish the WHITE RIVER while the sun rises over the bluffs.
Swing by POLK BAYOU OUTFITTERS to check out what’s new, swap adventure stories — and make sure you pet the store pup. Non-negotiable.
Fuel back up at BOARD ON 3RD — the Derrick burger or shrimp tacos are can’t-miss. Or head to POLK & PADDLE for spicy cheese curds and a great drink.

Enjoy a well-earned lunch at BRUNO'S PIZZERIA
Stop by POLK BAYOU OUTFITTERS to check out new gear, trail snacks, or swap stories about local ride routes.
Set out for a hike at JAMESTOWN CRAG or LYON COLLEGE. Whether it’s boulder-hopping, exploring forest paths, or catching panoramic overlooks, it’s the perfect way to spend time together outdoors.
Wrap up the day with family and friends at THE RIVER WATERFRONT STEAK & GRILL and watch the sun slip behind the Ozarks.
Ask anyone, and you’ll hear a similar story: “We came for a reason — and stayed for the relationships.”
The longer you’re here, the more you realize: This isn’t just where you live. It becomes part of who you are.

Ask around long enough, and someone will tell you about The White River Water Monster. For over a century, fishermen, farmers, and travelers have whispered about a mysterious creature that stirs the surface of the White River, leaving behind only ripples and wonder.
Some legends suggest that the cryptid played a pivotal role in the Civil War, overturning a Confederate boat in 1864 near what's now Jacksonport State Park.
The first recorded sighting of the White River Monster came in 1915, when Bramlett Bateman, a farm owner near Newport, swore he saw something "as wide as a car and three cars long" moving through the water.
The legend grew in 1937, when dozens reported a train-sized, gray-skinned creature with a long, spiny back and a horn on its head. It moved slowly, but powerfully, leaving a wake big enough to rock a boat. Word spread, reporters and tourists arrived, and the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission discussed building a giant net to catch it.
The Monster resurfaced in 1971, leaving big three-toe tracks along the riverbank. A photograph from that summer seemed to show a long, spiny ridge across its back.
By 1973, Arkansas lawmakers created the White River Monster Refuge, protecting the creature in a stretch of the river between Old Grand Glaize (Jackson County) and Rosie (Independence County).
So the question remains, what is the White River Monster? Some say a giant fish. Others think it could have been an elephant seal or manatee that wandered far from home.
Whatever it is, keep your camera ready — you never know when the White River Monster might decide to make another appearance.
