Heber Springs, AR

Heber Springs is a beautiful place to live and raise a family. Recreation is one of the underlying foundations of the Heber Springs economy. The lake area contains 15 federally-maintained parks, three national recreational trails, swimming areas, and numerous boat launching sites. All county residents are within a 15 minute drive of the lake or the trout laden Little Red River. Almost all of the recreation in Heber Springs is free. A series of popular festivals are staged here including the Ozark Frontier Trail and Craft Show, a three day event which spotlights the pioneer heritage, the Great Cardboard Boat Race (people racing in vessels made completely of cardboard).
