Tools For Arkansas
The Buffalo
River, America's first national river, begins its 132-mile tumble down toward the White River in the upper Ponca wilderness, some of the most remote and rugged country in the Ozarks. This stretch of the river is not suitable for floating, has little access and is mostly seen only by dedicated hikers. But the river reaches the historic Boxley Valley and begins a peaceful meandering that stretches the length of the long, narrow break in the hills before it begins its magnificent sweeps around the high limestone bluffs for which it is famous.
The spectacular location, natural outdoor activities and friendly people have turned the communities of the Greers Ferry Lake and Little Red River area into a powerful magnet for a steady influx of retirees and people looking for vacation homes. The vitality and quality of life here provide an irresistible appeal.
Just imagine: five diamond lakes serving up thousands of acres of sparkling recreational waters and countless miles of shoreline fun. Space, blessed space. Lots of elbow room to fish, ski, swim, float, sail, rent a houseboat, cruise your party barge, spread a picnic, kick back and catch some rays on some of the cleanest, clearest waters on the planet.
Come see the Arkansas Ozark Mountains.
An Outdoor Experience you will cherish for life.
Rivers, Whitewater, Hiking, and Climbing, are all here.
The Ozark National Forest covers more than one million acres, located mostly in northwestern Arkansas. The southern portion of the Forest runs along the Arkansas River Valley south to the Ouachita Mountains. The Ozark Mountains are actually plateaus, uplifted as a unit, with few folds or faults. The ruggedness of these mountains is due to erosion of the plateaus by swift rivers rising in them.

Arkansas has great climbing opportunities if you only know where to look. Mount Magazine, Sam's Throne, Fern, and Shepherd Springs are just a few worth mentioning now Besides the larger known climbing areas in Arkansas there is an abundance of unknown crags and never before climbed rock all over the state. You only need to know where to look, and some permission from Noah Trespassing most of the time.
Gorp is Good -- No pictures, purely an information site, but good. When it comes to providing Wilderness information about Arkansas Gorp is Very GOOD!

When I was a young lad, Geet and Larry Wilson talked me into pooling our cotton picking wages so we could go to the White River and buy ourselves a houseboat. If I had only known how good a houseboat you can get, I'd have been the one that kept the money we pooled before they ran off with it.

This is the biggest newspaper in the state now that the Gazette has been killed off. The features are the best part especially if you see a piece written by Susan Pierce, and the Sunday edition can compare favorably with most any paper in the country. -- News every morning at 3
The Arkansas Times is a choice paper which comes out only once a week, but provides many wholesome columns of information, including great destination pieces.
Benton County
Daily Record is a wonder for online service.
The Pacesetting
Times is a good read.
This little paper has one writer that does a fantastic job of introducing new businesses just starting up in the state; the writer probably won't last long, be scooped up by someone with a ton more money. But while it lasts this is a good site for business. -- Arkansas Business
I'll have to admit that since Rusty Logan left off being the editor and chief bottle washer here that I have only glanced at this paper occasionally. What I've seen convinces me that the Little Rock Free Press is just the old Spectrum regurgitated. That is a good recommendation for any who come alive at night. -- Little Rock Free Press
Arkansas Educational Television System -- This is our public broadcasting station's home page. It is a little highfaluting for me most of the time, but it seems to be just right for people with more city in their taste.
Best Reruns on Television Okay, okay, this FOX station has lots of things besides reruns, but it is reruns like these that tempt me out of my closet to watch television. This site is a wonderful intro to the whole state, even if you never get any closer than Pubwanii Korea. It has everything from horoscopes to brain teasers. The sister station is Little Rock's KASN which has a beautiful page up.
Fort Smith's own KHBS/KHOG is found here.
The Maumelle Monitor is an award winning newspaper.
The OTHER side of Arkansas + The Arkansas Page of Aristotle Net-- Definitely worth the trip. Our Web Servers page is found here. * * UALR Law Library is almost as good as the real thing. UALR Home Page is a tremendous resource of links and information available nowhere else.
