The greatest attraction of Heber
Springs, Arkansas is the 31,000 acre Greers Ferry Lake. Almost 40
years ago, President John F. Kennedy stood on a flag-draped
platform overlooking the just-completed Greers Ferry Dam and spoke
of the prosperity the lake would bring to the region. Today, the
millions who visit annually recognize it as one of the cleanest
and most scenic places in the mid-South. This crystal clear
playground provides excellent opportunities for fishing, boating,
water sports, hiking, and site seeing off the beaten path. With
about 31,500 acres of the lake surface at conservation pool,
fishing on Greers Ferry Lake is superb throughout the year.
Nestled in the foothills of the
scenic north central Arkansas Ozark Mountains, Heber Springs is
home popular festivals and events such as The World Championship
Cardboard Boat Races, held on Greers Ferry Lake, and our Fourth of
July Fireworks Celebration ... fun with the whole family in mind. |
