Fishing, golf, watersports, breathtaking mountains and lake scenery welcome visitors to this easygoing town in Northern Arkansas.

Outdoor recreation, such as watersports, fishing and golf, make Mountain Home a popular vacation, daytrip and weekend getaway destination. Mountain Home is a pretty town in Northern Arkansas nestled between glorious lakes and rivers in the foothills of the rolling Ozark Mountains.

Mountain Home’s major attractions sit within its picturesque natural surroundings, which are just a short drive from the town center. Spend a fun-filled day boating, sailing, swimming or waterskiing on the glistening waters of Bull Shoals Lake and Lake Norfork. Enjoy year-round fishing opportunities on the nearby rivers. Cast a line in search of brook, brown and rainbow trout on the White River and Norfork River.

Walk across the 256-foot-tall (78-meter) Bull Shoals Dam. Join a guided tour of the millennia-old limestone caves of Bull Shoals Caverns. Learn about the communities of the Ozark Mountains at Mountain Village 1890.

Take a break from outdoor adventures and visit the antiques stores, galleries and flea markets in downtown Mountain Home. Browse exhibits of regional art at the Hill Country Art Gallery. See an interesting collection of fishing-influenced art at the Rivertown Gallery. Enjoy independent theater productions at the Twin Lakes Playhouse and watch a performance by the Mountain Home Symphony.

Mountain Home is also known for its public golf courses. The award-winning Big Creek Golf Course and Twin Lakes Golf Course are both less than a 10-minute drive from the downtown district.
