Many outfitters in the area provide guide service and rent boats and equipment. The North Fork River was the first area river dammed in the early 1940s and forms Lake Norfork. It flows for only about four miles from the base of Norfork Dam before it enters the White River at Norfork. The confluence of the rivers was probably one of the reasons for the early settlement of the immediate area. While fishing is what most folks like to do around these bodies of water, floating any of the rivers just to enjoy the scenery and observe the wildlife that can be seen is an unforgettable experience for residents and visitors alike.
Access points are numerous and the scenery is spectacular.
In addition to the area rivers which have been dammed to form our lakes, the area is home to the nation's first wilderness river, the Buffalo National River. If you decide at the last minute to try a tube float, special large tubes are available for rent. There many golf courses in the area which allow public play. All rights reserved.
