We have some of the most beautiful surroundings here in the Ozarks. We have one of the worlds best trout river, The Little Red River, just about 200 feet from our front door. Trout fishermen come from all over the world to fish the Little Red, and enjoy it tremendously. The John F. Kennedy Dam is located here. It opened in 1963 and at the time President Kennedy was here during the dedication of the dam, along with his family.
Greers Ferry Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in Arkansas. We take the grandchildren there during the summer and drive out to just sit and talk during colder months. It is indeed a beautiful, clean, fun lake to be close to. During the month of July, usually around the 4th or so, the City puts on the Cardboard Boat Races in which contestants make boats from cardboard and sails them or tries, most of which sink. It's a fun time for everyone and it always draws a large crowd.
This picture was taken of the lake at sunset by standing in one of the wooded areas that surrounds the lake and taking the picture. There are many Arkansas state parks and Corp of Engineer parks around the lake to accommodate the many visitors that come during the camping season. Visitors come from March through September, and sometimes into October depending on the weather.
Heber Springs all sorts of activities that they may want to do. There are hiking trails, biking trails, and wooded areas in which to explore. Heber Springs offers almost any type of recreation desired, with costs incurred to the visitor, minimal.
