Izard Countybiker Calico Rock

Izard County was established in 1825 from land ceded by Independence County. It was named for George Izard, second territorial governor of Arkansas.  The first county seat was at the present town of Norfork (now Baxter County).  It was moved down the White River several times until 1875, when Melbourne became the permanent seat of justice.

bikersScenic drives through the lush forested hills and along unspoiled streams are a favorite activity for visitors. Historic White River communities, like Calico Rock, offer a glimpse of the past with colorful downtowns and interesting shops. The resort community of Horseshoe Bend provides championship golf courses, lake fishing and accommodations.  Melbourne also offers a public golf course, historic downtown square and a college campus.

Dreaming of waking up to the beauty of the Ozarks?
How about a quiet day of antiquing - searching for that perfect treasure. But wait, don't book that hotel yet - did you know that there are a host of Arkansas timeshares available for you to rent? You'll find that most timeshare rentals available for about the same price as a hotel room, what's more - you'll enjoy more room, more luxury, and more services at a resort located steps away from everything the gorgeous Ozarks have to offer.
