Outdoor Recreation

Nestled between the Ozarks and Ouachita mountain ranges, Ozarks offers an abundance of outdoor and recreational opportunities just a stone's throw away.

If a lazy canoe trip down a pristine river is your thing, you will find the nationally renowned Buffalo River in Newton County, just to the north of Clarksville.

If you'd like a little more adventure, the sometimes rambunctious Mulberry River and Big Piney Creeks provide perfect white water for a springtime kayak getaway.

If you prefer mountain biking, hiking, camping, rock climbing or spelunking, the rugged Ozarks Mountains and the rolling Ouachita Mountains offer numerous options. Hundreds of lakes and rivers make Arkansas a paradise for anyone who enjoys the outdoors.

Whatever your outdoor pleasure, you won't have to go far to find it at Ozarks!
