Local InfoWe proudly boast four distinct seasons, all about equal in duration. Spring could be considered the most beautiful of all: the dogwoods and redbuds can be counted on to take you by surprise. You might not truly know how the term "spring green" originated until you spend time here in March and April. You’ll even catch glimpses of the new crop of fawns, or be treated to a wild turkey mating display. Summer is nice and hot, so you’ll be constantly tempted to leap into one of the many bodies of water nearby. The consistently cold White River is world-renowned for its rainbow- and brown-trout fishing, while the smaller Kings River is perfect for canoeing, kayaking, fishing, camping and swimming. The clean, deep Beaver Lake and Table Rock Lake are great for all types of water recreation, especially water-skiing. If the fall season is more your cup of tea, our colors will take your breath away! Scarlet maples vie with the orange oaks and neon yellow elms for your eyes’ delight. Camping is a popular fall activity, although here in the Ozarks you can camp comfortably almost year ‘round. Ozark winters are typically mild; with days and nights cool enough for snuggling in front of a cozy fire, but rarely bitterly cold. The occasional snow is greatly anticipated, but doesn’t usually stick around long enough to wear out its welcome. Bald eagles choose to winter here, gracing our waterways with their majestic presence. All in all, the seasons strike a great balance. As for the people, you shouldn’t find it hard to make friends around here. You’ll find hard-working farm families and good old country folks, people who have lived off this land for several generations. In addition, Eureka Springs has always attracted artists and craftspeople from all over the world, bringing a great multi-cultural flavor to the area. You can truly have the best of both worlds: unspoiled natural beauty in close proximity with great restaurants and cultural entertainment venues. Life definitely moves slower here, so if you can see yourself slowing down enough to sit on a creek bank with your feet in the water, chances are good you are seeing yourself in the Ozarks.
