Welcome

to Arkansas' Adventure Region Ever

have that feeling that you just want to

get lost? Lost in your own little world, be invisible if only for a second, or a minute, or possibly a weekend? To have true peace. True quiet.

To perhaps go back in time before cell phones, before social media, before the internet, and just relax on a two dollar floatie - letting the gentle movement of the waves rock you to sleep.

History

look to the future The magnificent Greers Ferry Dam and Lake were developed to abate the critical need for flood control. Named after William V. “Bud” Greer who ran his ferry during the 1800s, the dam’s dedication and opening were celebrated on October 3, 1963 with more than 10,000 Arkansans present to hear President John F. Kennedy proclaim, “It serves as an example to the rest of the country of what we want to do to make it possible for those who come after us to have a better life.”

an Buren County presents Clinton, county seat, and Fairfield Bay, resort/retirement community, for your pleasure — plus a host of friendly little towns throughout the county just waiting to show you a big welcome. We’ve got beautiful Ozark foothills scenery and terrific recreation at the western end of Greers Ferry Lake.

Greers Ferry Lake is home of the world-record walleye and hybrid striper bass. The lake is widely popular for swimming, water-skiing, boating and camping.

Archey Fork in downtown Clinton is undergoing a major restoration to put meandering back in the river and re-establish critical habitat.

Once completed, there will be kayaking, canoeing and excellent fishing opportunities.
