About Mountain Home Area
Recreation
Where Is Mountain Home, Arkansas?
Looking at a map showing
Arkansas and Missouri, you'll find Mountain Home, Arkansas in the northern center of
Arkansas just below the Missouri - Arkansas border. The two lakes, the three rivers, and
the Ozark National Forest, all in our area, offer some of the best outdoor recreation
opportunities in America.
Norfork Lake is five miles to the east of
Mountain Home, and Bull Shoals Lake is nine miles west of Mountain Home. The White River
and North Fork River (also called the Norfork River) are both ten miles southeast of
Mountain Home. Access to the lower or middle sections of the Buffalo National River are
about 30 miles southwest of Mountain Home.The Sylamore District
of the Ozark National Forest is 20 miles to the south.
Where is The Twin Lakes Area?
It is that region within the north-central Arkansas and south-central Missouri Ozark Mountains
encompassing a 30 mile radius around Mountain Home, Arkansas. Norfork Lake and Bull Shoals
Lake spread throughout the area, thus the name Twin Lakes Area. Mountain Home is almost
dead center between the two lakes. The waters of both lakes extend into southern Missouri.
There are several small towns within this region, like Bull Shoals, Arkansas. Total
population within the Twin Lakes Area is about 50,000 persons.
Mountain Home - Center of the
Twin Lakes Area
Mountain Home Arkansas has the Twin Lakes Area's largest population (about 11,000),
and has many restaurants, churches, shopping, parks, medical facilities, a college campus,
two 18 hole golf courses, and a long list of service sector amenities. Highway 62/412,
which is the major east-west highway crossing northern Arkansas, runs through Mountain
Home.
Why Do People Vacation in the Ozark
Mountains?
Each year some 800,000 to 1 million people visit the Twin Lakes Area to enjoy a
wide range of outdoor recreation pursuits. Because there are so many attractive locations
for participating in outdoor recreation, few areas are ever crowded. Most people
vacationing here enjoy the small town atmosphere, the lack of crime, the friendly locals,
and the uncrowded clean clear rivers, lakes, and forests.
