Sunrise at City Rock Bluff 🌅 — where the first light spills over the valley and the Ozarks wake up slow and quiet. Enjoy the view, then head into nearby Calico Rock for a well-earned breakfast. ... See MoreSee Less

🚣‍♀️ Kayaking the White River near Batesville 🌊
Glide down the White River and soak in some of the most peaceful scenery in north Arkansas. Calm waters, scenic riverbanks, and quiet bends make every paddle relaxing. Along the way, watch for bald eagles soaring overhead, deer coming down to the water’s edge, river otters, herons, and turtles. If you enjoy fishing, drop a line along the shoreline and reel in some fun. It’s the perfect way to slow down, unplug, and experience the natural beauty around Batesville.🌿🦅🦌
