HORSESHOE BEND
ARKANSAS
The best kept secret in north Arkansas is Horseshoe Bend. Nestled in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains on the Strawberry River, this quaint town is the perfect place to find rest, relaxation, and recreation.
The crown jewel of the town is the 640-acre Crown Lake. On Crown Lake, water lovers can participate in a variety of activities, including swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, water skiing, and tubing. Crown Lake is best known for good fishing, but it is not the only sought-after fishing hole in the area. Besides Crown Lake and the Strawberry River, fishing enthusiasts can also visit one of the smaller fishing lakes – Diamond, Pioneer, and North Lake.
There are plenty of activities for young and old alike! Golfers have their choice between two golf courses; a par-3 executive course and a full-length 18-hole course. Citizens and guests can pitch horseshoes and play miniature golf at Crown Point RV Resort. The town has several stores, a library, two resorts, a community theater, a spa, and several restaurants.
The citizens of Horseshoe Bend take pride in the community spirit and the ability to offer a memorable experience for all who come to visit. The Music in the Mountains show occurs every third Saturday of the month, and during summer, the Farmers’ Market occurs every Wednesday. Every year, the town celebrates Dogwood Days in April, and Independence Day is celebrated every 4th of July with a parade and amazing fireworks. The annual Christmas parade occurs on the first Saturday in December. There are many more events that happen throughout the year, thanks to the numerous civic groups which are active in Horseshoe Bend. All of these events embrace the unique Ozark culture of small-town pride and fellowship.
The largest town in Izard County with 2,400+ residents, Horseshoe Bend is accessible to the state’s most scenic highways. The town is centrally located and just a 3-hour drive to Little Rock, Memphis, and Branson. With its gorgeous views, slower pace of life, and laid-back charm, Horseshoe Bend is the perfect place to stay a week or a lifetime.
