Have a
Great Vacation on the White River
Located on the banks of the crystal clear
White
River, Cotter can be described as the perfect vacation spot. The
tail-waters from Bull Shoals Dam
provide exciting trout fishing for the whole family. Our outfitters provide guided access
not only to the White River, but also the nearby Buffalo National River, and North Fork Rivers.
 Not interested in fishing?
Well, we suppose it's possible! Our outfitters and guides
will be more than happy to take you on a float trip to enjoy the
incredible scenery. You might even learn something about how
tricky it is to drive one of these john boats, whether the water
is high or low.
How
about exploring the riverbank to see what you can find -- maybe
even an arrowhead. "Bankcombing" is a wonderful way to
 spend some time any time of day. If it's hot,
just wade a minute in the icy water. You'll be surprised how
fast you get comfortable. If it's cold, put on a sweater for a
while. You'll probably just wrap it around your shoulders
soon -- the walking will make you warm and comfortable.
Speaking
of walking, we have one of the most beautiful pairs of walking
trails anywhere. The upriver one starts near the river access
point at the park and ends two miles upriver near some large
rock shelters. The sign pointing the way is just across the
street at Big Spring
Park. The downriver trail is just on the other side of
the flatcar bridge. Part of this trail is really close to the
riverbank at times, so it's easy to get wet when you want --
unless the river is up!
Need to
get inside? Come browse our
downtown shops and
 see what
treasures you can find.
If
you tire of perfect peace, the serenity of Cotter is only a short drive from
Lake
Norfork and Bull Shoals
Lake as well as the full range of conveniences in Mountain Home, a bustling, rapidly growing regional center. If
you're interested in history, the Wolf House in Norfork (now
undergoing
 restoration), Mountain
Village 1890 in Bull Shoals, or the Rollins Hospital Museum
and Garr-Jackson Genealogy Library in Gassville might be of
interest. After a busy day sightseeing, we bet you'll be glad to
get back to your home away from
home, on the banks of the White River.
We'll be waiting.
Come back to Cotter, again.
