HISTORY

T0POGR APHY

The river is well known as one of America’s blue-ribbon trout streams, boasting record-setting german brown, rainbow, cutthroat and brook trout. The river existed before the dam and the lake and there’s beauty around every bend. The first settlers made their homes a few miles below the dam. The Little Red is a way of life for locals; for explorers it’s a refreshing and exhilarating journey.

The river winds through a land marked by rugged red bluffs, majestic hardwood hillsides and captivating views.

12 GFL / LRR GUIDE

COUNTY

NATUR AL WONDERS & RICH HISTORY AB O UND TH R O UGH O UT VAN B UREN C OU N T Y

A Western Gateway to Greers Ferry Lake, outdoor adventures are as alive today as they were when Van Buren County was formed in 1833. Early settlers came as adventurers, hunters and farmers, and this trend continues today.

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.

20 GFL / LRR GUIDE

Head east on Hwy 16 from Clinton toward Shirley. This tiny token in Arkansas’ Ozarks was once known as a wildwest community, a center of commerce and a traveling train depot stop. Today locals and visitors alike enjoy kayaking and 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.

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.

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

HEBER SPRINGS ADVENTURE WAITING TO HAPPEN

WAT E R ADVE NTURE S W ITH C H ARM ING P L AC E S O F P L AY

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

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

As a gateway entrance to Greers Ferry Lake and the Little Red 38 GFL / LRR GUIDE

River, the United States Corps of Engineers completed Greers Ferry Lake Dam in 1962, and it was dedicated 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. Pick up the trail from behind the Wm. Carl Garner Visitor Center.

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 fauna.

Here you’ll enjoy waterfalls throughout the trail.

Another natural beauty nearby is Bridal Veil Falls. A popular spot to watch one of our area’s most beautiful waterfalls.

Just around the corner is Cornelius Falls, and a few blocks away you’ll find the infamous Sugarloaf Mountain. Be sure to explore all the new trails thanks to the Sugarloaf Heritage Council. Also, check out the Greers Ferry Lake Trails Council at gfltc.com for more trails and outdoor excursions.

QUITMAN Quitman began with the arrival of early settlers in the mid-1800s and became established in 1881. By the 1890s Quitman was home to a blacksmith, cotton gin, carding factory, grain mill and two physicians.

Today, Quitman, with a population of 762 provides a rural lifestyle for its many local residents and farmers.

Quitman also boasts several local restaurants and antique treasures.

Greers Ferry, established in 1968, has a population today of 761 and is quaintly nestled between the Narrows bridge and Edgemont bridge.

WHITE

COUNTY

WHITE C OUNT Y, ARKANSAS AN INSPI RI NG DE ST I NATIO N W ITH IN YO UR RE AC H

Since its formation in 1835, White County has played a part in the rich history of Arkansas.

A few must-sees are the White County Courthouse located on the square in Searcy, the oldest working courthouse in Arkansas, and the Judsonia Bridge.

Completed in 1924, it is the only known cantilever swing bridge in Arkansas. Wherever you end up in the county, there’s plenty of fun to experience.

The city of Bald Knob is known for its strawberries and the popular Who Dat’s Cajun Restaurant. It also boasts the MoPac Rail Museum located downtown next to the railroad.

Don’t forget to stop at The Bulldog Restaurant, a local favorite, for their famous strawberry shortcake.

46 GFL / LRR GUIDE

Visitors come to partake in the Beebe’s flea markets, antique shops, and the annual Bargains Galore on 64. The event is a three-day yard sale along Highway 64 that runs from Beebe to Fort Smith. White County’s outdoor opportunities are plentiful and diverse.

A paradise for sportsmen and hunters, the 17,000-acre Henry Gray / Hurricane Lake Wildlife Refuge boasts excellent hunting for mallards and whitetail deer and offers great fishing. The Bald Knob National Wildlife Refuge is becoming renowned for its birding opportunities. Diversified management has resulted in significant increases in migratory bird species and concentrations.

Pangburn has a great mix of shoals and deep-water offering opportunities to catch rainbow and brown trout on the Little Red River. If you prefer largemouth bass, bluegill or redear sunfish, then visit Lake Barnett. Kayaking and fishing are favorite past times on this Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Lake.

SEARCY SMALL TOWN BIG OPPO RTUNI TI E S

Opportunities like fishing and boating on the Little Red River, miles of biking, hiking and walking trails right inside the city limits, or yoga on the square.

Opportunities abound to explore the history, moving performances, unique boutiques, and to experience the local flavor.

Our area hosts fantastic festivals.

Beats & Eats is bringing nightlife to Searcy with its monthly music event. The Searcy Get Down Downtown Festival is a free, fun-filled family event featuring musicians and artists from the Mid-South. The Holiday of Lights Festival brightens Searcy during Christmas, with a lighted parade and ice-skating rink.

50 GFL / LRR GUIDE

Take a step back in time at Pioneer Village, a collage of buildings and artifacts from our history. The Village hosts several open house events that feature volunteers in period costumes sharing facts about pioneer life and demonstrating pioneer crafts, including blacksmithing, spinning and leatherworking.

The village is maintained by the historical society, which also works to preserve Smyrna Church, the oldest church building in White County.

Searcy has many cultural opportunities as well, including museums, performance theaters and musical events. Harding University houses the Linda Byrd Smith Museum of Biblical Archeology, which features more

than 100 antiquities and the Stevens Art Gallery. Both are free to the public. If you love theatre and great food, then pay a visit to the Center on the Square or the Harding Summer Dinner Theater.

Searcy’s many flea markets and antique shops boast a great selection of antiques, vintage wares, fun upcycled items, and homemade crafts. The Bees Knees, Old Hippy Antiques, Salas Southern Sales and the Searcy Emporium are a few of the establishments in town.

BEEBE

R OSE BUD

Beebe, the second largest city in White County, sits on the edge of the Arkansas Delta just 16 miles south of Searcy and a few miles below the scenic foothills of the Ozark Mountains.

It is centrally located within approximately two or three hours of anywhere in Arkansas. The city is home to Arkansas State University-Beebe. Pick up the trail and follow the famous Rock-N-Roll Hwy or visit for Bargains Galore on 64 and meet some friendly folks while finding your favorite treasure.

The town of Rose Bud has a brewing reputation for coffee. It’s home to RoZark Hills Roasterie, Inc., where their own beans are roasted and ground on site. They have eight signature blends not including espresso. And, while in Rose Bud, check out the Rambler for outstanding steaks or find treasures at the It is What It Is Flea Market. If you’re looking for off-road adventure, you’ll find it at Rose Bud Off Road Adventure Park.

JUDSONIA The centrally located town of Judsonia was founded in 1840 and rests on the banks of the Little Red. It is known for having one of three known swing bridges in the state. A drive south will lead you to the town of West Point, a small community that sits on the banks of the Little Red River. A good boat launch is located here.

Take a step back in time in the city of Georgetown. Overlooking the White River, Georgetown is a tiny town with a population of only 126. Founded in 1789, it is also the oldest continuously settled community in Arkansas.

K ENSET T You can still hear and see the rumblings of trains in Kensett, which had its beginnings in the railroad boom. Born in 1872, the community was named for Thomas Harrison Kensett II, a railroad investor. Don’t leave without a stop at the Country Café to enjoy some southern comfort food.

Arkansas is home to many pristine waters. But Woodruff County is lucky enough to have three winding rivers running through it. 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-style Presbyterian Church, Victorian homes and Augusta’s very 58 GFL / LRR GUIDE

Don’t let the rolling rows of rice fool you; hunters and fishers will find an incredible abundance of wildlife along the Cache River and White River. Witness the wonder of the Delta Flyway, where farmers flood fields for thousands of ducks and geese to be welcomed home each year.

Wildlife Management Areas include Rick Evans Grandview Prairie and Rex Hancock Black Swamp.

Spruce Street

Located along the banks of the White River, this historic town was established in 1848 and is also the county seat. The area was a settlement for the Chickasaw Indians and the tribe built log huts along high bluffs overlooking the White River – becoming an important trail between the Chickasaw and other nearby tribes.

Although this historic town was virtually destroyed during the Civil War, the residents rebuilt, with many structures still standing today - such as the impressive Woodruff County Courthouse and the Gothic Revival-style Augusta Presbyterian Church. Both are on the National Register of Historic Places, along with Augusta Memorial Park.

The town64is well-known as a favored spot for fishermen and boaters alike who take full advantage of the picturesque river.

What not to miss? Peeples family farm. Pick from patches of pumpkins and cotton, get lost in a 20-acre hand-cut corn maze and play with barnyard animals. nal Ca

Cotton Plant got its name when William Lynch in 1846 planted cottonseed beside his store. The plant became so popular that people began calling the community Cotton Plant. In 1852, the town got its first post office and the name stuck. In the early 1900s, Cotton Plant was a cultural center with an opera house and several music and literary clubs. Two music talents came out of Cotton Plant: Sister Rosetta Thorpe, a gospel music superstar, (influencing musicians such as Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, and Johnny Cash), and William Bunch, known as Peetie Wheatstraw, an influential blues singer of the 1930s. Cotton Plant’s Historical Museum, founded in 2014, keeps the town’s rich history alive.

McCR ORY Mosey on down to Woodruff County’s popular place for live theater and special stores 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. Historical Raney Park, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, also boasts buildings with 20th-century commercialstyle architecture along cities downtown.
