Fishing and BoatingLake Jack NolenJust a few miles to the east of Greenwood is Lake Jack Nolen. Built in 1990 by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, this lake has been stocked with a variety of game fish for the enjoyment of sports fishermen. No skiing or swimming is allowed in the lake. White RiverThe White River is part of the McClellan-Kerr Inland Waterway Navigation System and meanders from its source in the northwest corner of the state, across the Missouri state line, and back into Arkansas to the Mississippi River. The river traverses a wide variety of Arkansas' landscapes, ranging from the Mississippi River Delta, the Central Arkansas Lowlands, and the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas and Missouri. Along its course lies the White River National Wildlife Refuge, the historical Jacksonport State Park, the Ozark Folk Center, and the beautiful Ozark National Forest. The White River offers some of the state's best bass and trout fishing, and also some excellent catfish along the southern reaches. Access to the river is convenient from Greenwood and there are many services available, including boat rentals, resorts, and guide services. In the northern portion of the state, the White River is popular among canoeists and rafters.
Buffalo National RiverNorth Arkansas' Buffalo National River, the country's first national river, is roughly 150 miles long and includes nearly 95,000 acres of public land along its corridor. A river for all seasons, the Buffalo offers floating, hiking, camping and spectacular sights, from 500-foot bluffs to 200-foot waterfalls. Mid-America's largest herd of elk can be seen from several spots. Considered a model smallmouth bass stream, the Buffalo's cool, clean waters also provides perfect habitat for channel catfish, green and long-ear sunfish and spotted bass. Fishing is governed by state regulations, and an Arkansas fishing license is required. Concessionaires along the river rent canoes, rafts and johnboats. Some
offer complete fishing packages.
