About Arkansas Vacation Rentals
Northeast Arkansas is the perfect place to get away from it all and spend some quality time with Mother Nature. There are enough hills, valleys, rivers, lakes, and streams to keep every outdoor enthusiast busy during their vacation. The Ozark mountains loom in the mist, awaiting those with an appreciation for the Great Outdoors and the Ozark Folk Life heritage. A day's itinerary in Northeast Arkansas can include hiking, cycling, fishing, swimming, boating, mountain biking, water skiing, parasailing, and just about any thing else you can imagine!
The Ozark Mountains have played an intricate role in developing the modern lifestyle and rich heritage of Arkansas. The Ozark Folk Center in Mountain View is dedicated to preserving the mountain lifestyle in an educating and entertaining way. Here, you can tap your toes to mountain music; see blacksmithing, pottery making, and over 18 other pioneer skills and crafts; and learn to play the dulcimer or autoharp, to jig dance, or to grow an organic herb garden. The kids will enjoy the many children's programs that teach various pioneering skills such as making scent sacks from dried herbs, leather working, and spinning pottery.
For some outdoor fun, take the whole family to Greers Ferry Lake, located between Clinton and Heber Springs. This 31,000 acre lake was built by the Army Corps of Engineers, and is a recognized model for environmental cleanliness. Fishing, boating, and water sports are just a few of the activities available. Golfers will appreciate the two championship golf courses surrounding the lake while hiking buffs will enjoy the hardwood forests containing numerous hiking and mountain biking trails. The Little Red River emerges from the Greers Ferry Dam and offers excellent trout fishing. The current world record brown trout was landed in the Little Red in 1992.
More outdoor fun can be found in Mammoth Spring State Park in Mammoth Springs. Mammoth Spring is a rarity, in that its flow and temperature remain constant. The spring sends 9 million gallons of 58 degree water into Spring River every hour. This constant flow of cool water makes the area a great fishing spot, as well as a favorite with canoeists and kayakers. The park also contains hiking trails, picnic areas, and a 1886 railroad depot complete with rail related exhibits and a group of passengers dressed as if they were awaiting a train in the 1880s.
