Come witness the Four Seasons of the Ozarks, a beautiful display of color, vibrancy and revitilization!It begins each year with the Redbud and Dogwood, Daffodil and Tulip bloom in the spring exploding in a riot of color, signaling the end of winter.

Of course, the Ozarks are famous for their fall beauty the endless rolling hills splashed in brilliant shades of purple, amber and red, seemingly aflame in orange, yellow and gold.

Aside from the natural beauty of the Ozarks, there are numerous fun things to do within a few miles of Rocky Hollow Lodge.The Bull Shoals Caverns, a 300 million year old cave system runs right under the town, and is open to the public offering never before seen terrestrial features, quite unique only to this cave.

The Rivercliff Golf Club, just minutes away, offers 18 holes of professional golf, right on the banks of the beautiful White River, here in Bull Shoals.The largest of the Ozark Twin Lakes, Bull Shoals Lake is a favorite family, fishing, and group vacation destination in Arkansas.

Created by damming the White River, this magnificent body of clear blue water is surrounded by 1,000 miles of beautiful mountain shoreline.

Bass fishing in Arkansas, another yearround activity, can lead to catching nine different species, including quite heavy stripers.Peaceful coves provide glasslike surfaces making Bull Shoals Lake perfect for clear water skiing and wake boarding.

Pleasure boating is safe as traffic on the lake is relatively light, even on holidays.The lake's incredible visibility for scuba diving has earned it the title, "The Caribbean of the Midwest."

Visitors enjoy sailing, skiing and boating on the hundreds of miles of lake arms and coves.Fisherman can take advantage of the many species of fish available, including large and small mouth bass, walleye, crappie, catfish, trout and more.

So many lakes, streams, and public lands exist within the Arkansas borders that sportfishing and hunting is naturally of huge interest to vacationers.

Trout fishing is widely popular and four types of trout are sought after brook, brown, cutthroat, and rainbow.Arkansas waters are known for producing worldrecord sized fish.

Both big game and small game hunting is plentiful.Whitetail deer, elk, and black bear are big catches during the generous regulated season, while wild turkey and waterfowl are part of the smaller takes.

With over 72,100 acres of water surface at high level, surrounded by over 2 million acres of wilderness, the Ozark Mountains and Bull Shoals Lake have room enough for everyone!

With undeniable beauty and hospitality, unique towns, the Ozarks are a road tripper's prize.


By Jack Popowich

"Y'all gonna love this one here,"proclaims our Ozark Mountain bike tour guide, Dave Renko, as we pile out of the truck and start to unload the bikes. "It's a screamer," adds Stan Johnson, another Fayetteville, Arkansas mountain bike freak.

The trail they are referring to is the Mountain Creeks Falls Trail, located in the northwest corner of Arkansas, an area ripe with networks of singletrack, doubletrack, and fourwheel drive roads. I came to explore it on fat tires, and capture the road less traveled over a five day span.

Moments later, I find myself tearing around a corner, gripped. Just ahead lies a ledge drop, followed directly by twenty yards of fistsized rubble. Hold on, have faith, and stay off the front brakes! Unlike most rides, this one begins with a long and hairy descent. The climb comes later. Toward the bottom of the descent, my hands and forearms burn from trying to keep up, yet the only remnant of Dave and Stan is a cloud of settling dust. Trees whiz by in my peripheral until I reach a set of switchbacks.

Beaten down by the elements, the Ozarks are one of the oldest mountain ranges in the country, dating back millions of years. Valley floors are at about 1,200 feet and the highest peaks rise to 2,800 feet. Beautiful, thick hardwood forests of beechwood, hickory, oak, maple, and dogwood blanket the landscape, and spring creeks wind their way down to bigger waterways like the Buffalo and White rivers. After a good hard rain, driedup creek beds spring to life and feed countless tiny waterfalls.

A halfdozen puckering sections later, the trail finally mellows and I see them waiting for me beside one of these beautiful creeks. "I thought you'd like it down here," Dave says with a smile as he shoulders his bike and starts downstream. I couldn't have found a better person to show me the area. Working mostly weekends, Dave plays a mean sax for The Cate Brothers Band, and on weekdays he acts as president for the Ozark Offroad Cyclist Club, building trails, organizing races, leading rides, and promoting mountain biking in the region. He also does a phenomenal amount of trail research what most of us just call "riding."

Stan and I follow his lead.The stream flows over one limestone shelf after another and then plummets 25 feet into an eerie green pool. Over the next four days, this same scenario replayed itself gripping descents, pounding climbs, and a mountain culture vibe that feels like home.

Small towns rich with mountain folklore from the days of mining and logging dot the land. Eureka Springs, nicknamed "little Switzerland," is most notable for its old world charm. Shanties and buildings defy steep terrain, teetering on the edges of cliffs, stilted. Recently, Eureka Springs has become a funky town with unique shops, old hotels, and resident artists. The town also hosted the Ozark's first Fat Tire Festival earlier this summer.

There is an easy way about the people in this neck of the woods. Real friendlylike and willing to go out of their way to give a helping hand. But they sure have a funny way of talking.

"How y'all doin'? Y'all wanna ride o'er through that holler? . . . y'all come back now, y'heer?"
With undeniable beauty and hospitality, unique towns, endless trail and road systems, and developing organizations like the Ozark Offroad Cyclists Club, the Ozarks are a road tripper's prize.
