Greers Ferry Lake Greers Ferry Lake is a favorite water playground nestled in the foothills of the Ozarks in north central Arkansas.

This 40,000 acre masterpiece pleases water enthusiasts of all types. The lake is surrounded by an abundance of rock bluffs, trees, and wildlife in addition to historic Native American sites and history.

Greers Ferry Lake

Then

The lake, formed by Greers Ferry Lake Dam, was completed in 1962.

Spotlight On

The lake and dam were dedicated October 3rd, 1963 by President John F. Kennedy, his last public appearance before his trip to Dallas. Greers Ferry Lake is known for its pristine shoreline and deep crystal waters that provide a wonderful opportunity for enjoying nature in all its glory.

Greers Ferry Lake Grab a map and let your fingers trace the paths of submerged roads and railroads. You’ll also see where cemeteries, levees, and other structures are located - monuments to life before the lake was born.

Adventurous scuba divers may decide to plunge the depths to find submerged treasures, foundations, and even a gas station!

GReers Ferry Lake Greers Ferry Lake is made up of two big bodies of water connected by a “narrows.”

The “Big Water” is the largest open area of the lake on the south side. The north side or “North Shore” is where you’ll find the majestic Sugar Loaf Mountain Island, which rises 500 feet from the water. A favorite for hikers, kayakers, and photographers. The view is breathtaking.

A number of small, intriguing islands interrupt the open lake. Two islands close to each other are Goat Island and Scout Island, north of the Eden Isle Marina. Cruising around Bird Island, you’ll see steps and the foundation of a house. Perhaps even more exciting are the 100,000 plus purple martin birds that roost here. This long, narrow island is located in the Big Water between Eden Isle and Millers Point. Other islands in the lake include Boat Ridge, Eden Isle, Little Goat, Poker Hill, and Taylor.

Wonders wait for you to view throughout the area. Take a hike off Little Peter’s Creek and you’ll discover two waterfalls. With heavy rainfall, they can get up to 10 feet, allowing an experienced boater to go underneath them. You can get there in a kayak or canoe by launching from the boat access at Old Highway 25 Campground near Tumbling Shoals.

Greers Ferry Lake Greers Ferry Lake Dam was developed to abate the critical need for flood control, but what resulted behind the magnificent structure was a glistening lake and one of the foremost recreational areas in the state. To create the dam and lake, four towns were submerged, and 27 cemeteries and many homes moved. Today there are 15 public parks around the lake with more than 1,200 campsites, picnic tables, grills, launch ramps, and protected swimming areas.

Little

Red River

The Little Red River flows like open history.

For locals, the Little Red is a way of life; for explorers, it’s a refreshing and exhilarating journey.

The amazing Little Red River is well known as one of the blue-ribbon trout streams of America, boasting record-setting German brown, rainbow, cutthroat, and brook trout. Emerging icy cold from beneath the massive dam, this fly fishing mecca extends 32 miles from Greers Ferry Dam near Heber Springs to Pangburn, eventually flowing into the White River.

The river winds through a land marked by rugged red bluffs, majestic hardwood hillsides and captivating bluffs. Enjoying the scenery comes naturally when looking for the perfect fishing hole in wide or narrow spots, weed beds, pools, shoals, or off the island.

8

Little Red River

Then

Although the Little Red offers an ideal trout habitat, anglers can find healthy populations of chain pickerel, spotted and smallmouth bass, green and longear sunfish, rock bass, and bluegills.

There are a myriad of fishing guides around the river, including those at Lobo Landing Resort and Red River Trout Dock.

Along the river, docks, resorts, marinas, and outfitters dot the shoreline.

Rainbow Resort, now Lindsey’s Resort

A Fly Fishing Mecca

For more than 50 years, thousands of people have flocked to try their hand a casting out in hopes to catch the big one on the beautiful Little Red. And along the way, these fishermen were most certainly hosted and cared for by the Lindsey family. Originally called Rainbow Resort, Lindsey’s is a full-service trout fishing resort that has helped shape the history of the Little Red River.

Spotlight On

A Fly Fishing Mecca There are a few secrets to share for your best catch yet. Use light tackle and small lures. Ultralight spinning rigs with two- to four-pound line are most popular. In addition, most trout are taken on bait. Whole kernel corn, redworms, nightcrawlers, waxworms, salmon eggs, and even cheese all take their share.

Trout Fishing at the Little red river “We like to say that we’ve been here longer than the trout.” That’s what Lindsey White, the resort’s general manager, told a local reporter. He is part of the First Family at Lindsey’s Resort – son of Terri Lindsey White and her husband Sonny, grandson of the late Bill Sr. and his wife Mavis (AKA Nana) and nephew to Terri’s brother Billy.

The story begins in 1965 when Bill Lindsey was standing on a hill while looking out on his land. He had a dream of building a fishing resort for families, one that he could run with his own family: wife, Mavis, and their children, Terri and Billy. At the time, there was not a lot going on in that area, but he gradually earned enough money to build a unique resort that would be the home and workplace for four generations of his family.

Once you book a stay at this delightful resort, you may not want to leave. You’ll be surrounded by the soothing sounds of the tranquil river while staying in cozy, rustic log cabins with remarkable river views. Feeling a bit more adventurous? Pitch a tent in the scenic campground for a true outdoors experience. Or bring your RV for a stay at the full hook-up RV park.

You’ll be amazed by the world-class fishing guide services. And don’t worry about hauling your own bait. The bait shop has you covered. If you want to venture out into the waters on your own, rent a boat – or even a party barge – at the nearby marina.

And don’t forget to bring your appetite. You’ll want to try some of the enticing dishes at the resort’s renowned Pot O’ Gold Restaurant. And no visit is complete without stopping by and saying hello to Nana, Terri, and Lindsey. You’ll experience a history of generations and what it’s like living on the Little Red River.

Mossy Bluff Trail overlook Ready for the fun to begin?

The Little Red is also ideal for canoeing, bird watching, or picnics. While floating, take a side trip up Canoe Creek or Wilburn Creek, which takes you near the Wilburn community. Buckeye and Mossy Bluff Trails overlook the river, offering a variation on the abundance of stunning vistas. If you dare, slip out of the canoe and into a fast-flowing riff – Woosh!

History Time Line

look to the future

The magnificent Greers Ferry Lake Dam was 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.”

Van Buren County

A Western Gateway to Greers Ferry Lake, Outdoor Adventures Are As Alive Today as They Were in 1833 On November 11, 1833, the Arkansas Territorial Legislature formed Van Buren County, naming it in honor of the Vice President of the United States, Martin Van Buren. Van Buren became the 29th county in the territory.

26

Van Buren County

Then

Arkansas offered rich and unsettled lands along the White and Arkansas Rivers. And for the settlers who preferred the hill country and a simpler way of life Van Buren County was just as inviting as a cool breeze on a hot southern day.

The first settlers were mainly English, Irish and Scottish. The county attracted people from Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Mississippi, the Carolinas, and even Illinois and Missouri. Van Buren County was truly a melting pot of people with different backgrounds and cultures.

Early settlers came as adventurers, hunters and farmers, and this trend continues today.

NATURAL WONDERS & RICH HISTORY ABOUND THROUGHOUT VAN BUREN COUNTY.

Spotlight On

Meander through the winding roads of Clinton, the county seat of Van Buren County, located centrally at the convergence of three rivers: the south fork of Little Red River, the Archey Fork River, and Town Branch Creek. “Three Rivers” sculpture by Arkansas artist Hank Kaminsky rests at the downtown park and depicts Clinton’s colorful history.

While you’re there be sure to catch a glimpse of the old country store, cabin and original still. Word has it that the Jesse James gang hung out here.

SHIRLEY TRAIN BRIDGE Head east on Hwy 16 from Clinton towards Shirley. This tiny token in Arkansas’ Ozarks was once known as a wild-west community, a center of commerce, and a traveling train depot stop. Today locals and visitors alike enjoy kayaking & fishing along the banks of the river by the Shirley Bridge.

Cycling along the old Missouri and North Arkansas train tracks is popular for adventure seekers as well as exploring the many ATV trails. Visit Little Red River Outfitters in Shirley for information, tours, and guided trips.

Historical sites include the Van Buren County Museum and Clinton’s two-story courthouse of native stone.

Travel to the home of family farms, fresh produce, and flourishing fields in the close-knit community of Shirley, Scotland or Alread. Shirley is home to Wade Lucas Farms.

Scotland is also home to Gulf Mountain Wildlife Management Area’s Savanna Nature Trail and Driving Tour, where the Ozark National Forest shares the post-oak savannas and wildlife along the lanes. The city of Alread hosts one of the more unique old-fashioned Independence Day celebrations.

Fairfield Bay A community built on a dream view “From the top of the hill,” now in the Chelsea Glade area, the lake could be seen for 15 miles in either direction. Right there on the crest of the hill, Fairfield Bay was conceived. When John F. Kennedy dedicated the dam in October 1963, plans were well underway to begin a resort community on the northern shore of this new lake. In 1965, the first 4,000 acres was purchased from the Nebraska Tie and Lumber company.

Fairfield Bay

Then

In January, 1966, the marina opened with 12 slips, a gas dock, and became a gather­ ing place for people to experience this amazing new recreation area.

Fun, sun & water adventures Explore waterfalls, camp under the stars, find a sweet swimming hole, zip across the water in the only CraigCat on the lake, or perhaps simply kayak into the most amazing sunset. Fishing on the lake is superb, as every game fish native to the state has been stocked here.

Looking for a lake cruise? Hop on the Belle of the Bay, or catch the Sugar Loaf Mountain Island shuttle (daily) to hike the historic trail to amazing panoramic views. The Fairfield Bay Marina is the happening place to be.

If you love the outdoors, you’ll run out of daylight before you run out of adventures.

Spotlight On

Fairfield Bay offers a breath of pure mountain air to hike in, crystal clear waters to swim in, and a colorful countryside to go ATV/UTVing. Take your pick...each and every day.

Sugar Loaf Mountain Island

Indian Rock House Cave Even our history lessons will ROCK your world. Start your history tour at the 1850’s Log Cabin and Museum. Then venture onto the Indian Rock Trail, which takes you to Indian Rock House Cave. This 50 feet high natural sandstone structure was both shelter and tribal meeting place as far back as 1000 BC and contains several petroglyphs.

For the true outdoor enthusiast, nothing quite compares to hiking Sugar Loaf Mountain Island standing 1,000 feet tall in the middle of Greers Ferry Lake. This 300 million-year-old mountain is one of the nation’s first designated National Scenic Trails - with the view from the top being a breathtaking reward! Getting to the island is half the adventure: take the Sugar Loaf Shuttle (daily) from the Fairfield Bay Marina or rent a kayak and venture out on your own.

Fairfield Bay - where the fun is on par with the game. If you love golf, you’ve come to the right place. This city boasts two 18-hole championship golf courses: Indian Hills Golf Resort and Mountain Ranch, featuring the best of the beauty of the Ozarks. Ask about foot golf.

Parks, pools and picnics are our specialty. Where else can you go from playing minigolf, basketball or foot golf, to taking a refreshing dip, to dinner at the outdoor grill? And if the daylight’s fading? We’ll keep the lights on for you. Try playing tennis or pickleball on one of 8 lighted courts. Fairfield Bay’s parks are a wonderland for all ages.

Track away on any one of the 10 Bay Trails – more than 30 miles of developed trails bursting with wildlife, natural rock formations, and waterfalls. Scattered around the city, these trails are a daily reminder of the natural beauty that is part of life in The Bay. Looking for ATV/UTV trails? How about 90 miles of them, and more being added.

As you fly through the stream beds, rocks and woods, you can’t help but feel the rush of adrenaline. With excellent signage and both digital and printed maps, you’ll be exploring Fairfield Bay like you never have before. Be sure to try our ATV/UTV excursion tour for up to 6 riders - where you’ll experience the NEW 20 acre fun park.

Can’t wait to get here and stay for the weekend? We can help! Now open is the new pet-friendly Cobblestone Inn and Suites with restaurant and spa. It’s right next to our amazing Conference Center that houses the North Central Arkansas Art Gallery, plays, and music, and it is perfect for conferences, weddings, and reunions.

Arkansas’ Butterfly City Fairfield Bay has long had a love affair with butterflies, where local Master Gardeners have fostered a lovely butterfly sanctuary garden.

Recently named Arkansas’ first ‘Monarch City USA’, the community has begun to take their love of butterflies further a field, spreading milkweed around the city to help the “king of the butterflies” on their migration journey. Butterflies spread a bit of life’s sunshine among us all.

Arkansas’ Greers Ferry Lake, Little Red River & Surrounding Area

Cleburne County

The Little Red River, where it all began.

The 1811 New Madrid Earthquake left Rebecca and John Benedict and their young son homeless and penniless in Platton Rock, Missouri. Some 30 years earlier, Rebecca’s father had explored Central Arkansas and identified suitable land for homesteading. Seeking a better life, John and his three brothers-in-law headed into Arkansas’ wilderness to find the land Mr. Standlee had once traveled. They made their homes on 30 acres of land, a few miles below the

42

Cleburne County

Then

mouth of Devil’s Fork on the Little Red River.

The Greers Ferry Lake Dam was dedi­ cated on October 3, 1963 by President John F. Kennedy. The Dam and Lake were developed to abate the critical need for flood control along the river valley but what resulted behind the magnificent structure was a glistening lake and one of the foremost recreational areas in the state. Whether you’re looking for lake or river fun, Cleburne County offers something for everyone.

A DAY ON GREERS FERRY LAKE IS FULL OF NATURAL ADVENTURES.

Spotlight On

Greers Ferry Lake spans 40,745 acres and includs 276 miles of shoreline. Water adventures are bountiful year round on this beautiful lake, ranked as one of the cleanest and clearest lakes in the nation.

sugarloaf mountain Sugarloaf Mountain in Heber Springs stands nearly 700 feet above the valley overlooking the Little Red River. This landlocked location provides perfect views of the sunrise or sunset and is a popular location with various trails for all levels of hikers and climbers.

Trek the Summit Trail to the top of this sandstone sweet spot with a spectacular view of the river at your feet.

GREERS FERRY LAKE The lake is made up of two big bodies of water connected by a “narrows.” “The Big Water” is the largest open area of the lake on the south side near Heber Springs. The north side of the lake, near the small town of Greers Ferry, offers visitors a different scenic view. Whatever area you choose to visit, make time to see it all. Each area has something different and unique to offer.

Water abounds in Cleburne County and visitors will enjoy year round and seasonal water sports from kayaking, wakeboarding, swimming, fishing, cliff jumping, stand up paddle boarding, or simply floating.

There are many opportunities for other outdoor adventures such as hiking, waterfalls, watchable wildlife, and other geological wonders. If you’re up for an adventurous kayaking challange, try the first few miles of river below Greers Ferry Dam. They are strewn with boulders, making a challenging float for paddlers, especially when the generators are running.

BARNETT ACCESS & Winkley SHOALS Barnett Access. You know the fishing’s good here, because it’s where Howard “Rip” Collins caught his world-record brown trout. This area’s called the “Swinging Bridge,” named after the suspension bridge that collapsed in 1989. For a unique view of Sugarloaf Mountain walk west to Winkley Shoals.

Heber Springs Seven natural springs, a dam, a lake & a river.

Then

The seven natural springs had a popularity and a following all their own as Spring Park has been attracting people since the 1930s, well before the town was named Heber Springs.

Heber Springs was originally called Sugar Loaf until 1910 when the name was changed to avoid confusion with another post office also called Sugar Loaf.

Many people believe that Heber Springs was named after the seven natural springs that flow from the ground located near the center of town in what is now known as Spring Park. However,

48

Heber Springs

the founder, Max Frauenthal, named Heber in honor of a prominent doctor from Memphis, where he was also from at the time.

The park is home to a walking trail and other outdoor entertainment and hosts a variety of events each year, including Spring Fest.

Heber Springs

A SEA OF EMERALD GREEN AND A VIEW OF TWO WORLDS. As a gateway entrance to Greers Ferry Lake and the Little Red River, the United States Corps of Engineers completed Greers Ferry Lake Dam in 1962, and dedication by President John F. Kennedy in October of 1963. The work of this project has produced benefits of beauty, business, and play. The Dam Site provides a marina, campgrounds, facilities, and opportunities for boating, sailing, water skiing, swimming, fishing, scuba diving, and hiking, including a multi-purpose fitness trail. View the Dam from JFK Overlook. Hike the Mossy Bluff or Buckeye Trail and get a majestic view of the River from above, or simply enjoy the winding path through the woods. Pick up the trail from behind the Wm. Carl Garner Visitor Center.

Spotlight On

bridal veil falls Take a trip off Hwy 25 in Heber Springs and discover this delightful paradise. Named for its resemblance of the veil of a bride. With an elevation of 584 feet, this site is breathtaking. The falls change with the seasons. Visit after a heavy rain for maximum joy. Wear comfortable walking shoes, and bring plenty of water.

GREERS FERRY LAKE DAM Greers Ferry Lake Dam is a man-made marvel, but there are natural marvels nearby that you don’t want to miss. Just around the corner from the Wm. Carl Garner Visitor Center you’ll find Collins Creek. A great place for picnics, or an afternoon hike shaded by trees, flora and fawna. Here you’ll enjoy waterfalls throughout the trail. A great place to be still and just relax for awhile or even meditate with the faint noise of the falls in the background.

Another natural beauty nearby is Bridal Veil Falls. A popular spot to watch one of our area’s most beautiful waterfalls. Don’t be surprised if you see someone get down on one knee and offer up a proposal of lifelong love. The waterfall has that effect on visitors and locals alike. You might even hear what sounds like wedding bells in the faint distance.

Trumpeter swans More than 100 swans leave the Midwest for Arkansas and provide a beautiful bird watching opportunity November through February. View from Magness Lake or check into local “Swan Packages” during season.

Spotlight On

A paradise for sportsmen and hunters, the 17,000 acre Henry Gray/ Hurricane Lake Wildlife Refuge boasts excellent hunting for mallards and white tail deer and offers great fishing. The other prime hunting spot is the Bald Knob National Wildlife Refuge, where hunting for wintering waterfowl is available on about half of the refuge’s 14,800 acres.

Henry Gray/ Hurricane Lake Wildlife Refuge Fishermen delight in the world-renowned tail waters of the Little Red River. Well known to fly fishermen, Pangburn has a great mix of shoals and deep water offering opportunities to catch rainbow and brown trout. There are many guides in the area that can take you to the sweet spots on the river. After you get your fill of fishing, stop by the Pangburn Museum which features the history of the old railroad town.

Lake Barnett is one of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s most picturesque fishing spots. The lake’s most prominent landmark is Red Bluff, a 150-foot rock formation jutting high above the water at mid-lake on the north shore. Kayaking and fishing are favorite past times on the lake. Largemouth bass, bluegills and redear sunfish are foremost on the minds of most anglers visiting Lake Barnett, although the lake also has healthy populations of channel catfish and crappies.

One of Arkansas’ oldest cities, Georgetown was established when early settlers landed on the banks of the White River after navigating north west off the Mississippi River. The river is large enough for barge traffic and is another great fishing location in our county.

Finish off your visit to the county by hitting the Rock ‘N’ Roll Highway 67 in Bald Knob.

Its name is derived from the rockabilly music performed at nightclubs and other venues located on the highway by legendary progenitors of the genre.

Fair & Festivals The White County Fair is the largest county fair in the state of Arkansas.

Held the week after Labor Day, the event brings in over 50,000 people a year. The fair features a concert, rodeo performances, carnival rides, livestock exhibition, senior day, a demolition derby, and all your favorite carnival food.

Woodruff County A River Runs Through It

Arkansas is home to many pristine waters.

But Woodruff County is lucky enough to have three winding rivers running through it. The elusive ivory-billed woodpecker put the Cache River on the national map when it was spotted living among the trees on its banks. And the White River finds its way south via Augusta.

With fields growing everything from cotton and soybeans to corn and rice, Woodruff boasts friendly and flavorful towns. The county seat of Augusta was originally established as a Native American village called “Chickasaw Crossing,” and the area prompts memories of the old Arkansas days. Be sure to explore the Woodruff County courthouse, Gothic Revival-styled Presbyterian Church, Victorian homes and 60

Woodruff County

Then

Augusta’s very own history walk. Listed on the National Register and Arkansas Heritage Trails System, this city has surprising stories to share.

Button Up

A button factory once graced Augusta, manufacturing mother-of-pearl buttons from shells of the Mississippi River. It was in operation from the early 1900’s until 1930, and remnants of shells remain along the riverbank to this day. Perfect circles remain where the buttons were cut. Be on the lookout while walking the banks of the White River in the county seat.

The Old General Store

Whether it’s hunting or fishing, dining or shopping, Woodruff County offers plenty of good company and good times.

Mosey on down to Woodruff County’s popular place for live theater, special stores, and even sightings of endangered species in McCrory. An old movie theater restored to be a stately stage for live performances, the Ken Theatre provides a historical haven for performing arts. Stop and smell the roses at local favorites including McCrory Flower Shop and Marketplace and the Crafty Corner Flowers and Gifts. Shoppers from far and wide travel to find a variety of brands, arrangements, home décor, and even local creations crafted in the area. Historical Raney Park, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, also boasts buildings with 20th-century commercial-style architecture along the city strip. See if you can spot the nationally known, rare species of ivorybilled woodpecker that has been documented to nestle in the nooks of trees along the Cache River. What are the odds, of all places, McCrory!

River WALK Stroll on for spice and southern favorites in Gregory, and grab a plate of Arkansas-famous hot tamales. In a barn on owner George Eldridge’s farm, the Tamale Factory restaurant provides quality-crafted cooking for any craving from shrimp and burgers to fish and hot tamales. As you make your way through the countryside, be sure to stop and dine at this sweet spot on Highway 33, just south of Augusta.

Boasting the benefits of agritourism, Peebles Farm of Augusta is soon to celebrate 10 years of giving visitors fantastic fall fun. The Peebles family farm peaks from September to November. Pick from patches of pumpkins and cotton, get lost in a 20-acre hand-cut corn maze, and play with barnyard animals. Grab a bite to eat, and enjoy hayrides, bonfires, horse and wagon rides, and shopping for homemade items at the general store. Family photos are a must at Peebles cutouts or in front of a beautiful backdrop of sky-high sunflowers.

Spotlight On

The Tales of Shells “Ever so often, I find a button shell along the river bank,” said Augusta city manager Kip Davis, as he shares the story of the Augusta button factory that used to dwell near the banks of the White River. Steamboat and commercial fishermen of the early 1900s would smoke mussel shells and search for pearls. Sending the rest to the factory, they would be used for button punching and production.

Cypress Meadows Plantation Hear that sound? Lean in and listen carefully for the wedding bells chiming all the way from Howell, Arkansas. The Barn at Cypress Meadows Plantation boasts a beautiful venue in Woodruff County for weddings or events, drawing brides from all over the state.

Waltz into the wooden wonder and discover this two-story treasure.
