Fun things to do in Fairfield Bay...

 

Greers Ferry Lake:

Fairfield Bay wraps around the north shore of beautiful Greers Ferry Lake, a 50-mile long, 40,000 acre clean mountain lake with 343 miles of shoreline. These sparkling waters are the perfect playground for fishing, boating, scuba diving, sailing and all kinds of fun in the sun.

Your center for water recreation, our first rate local marinas rent ski boats and skis, party barges, wave-runners, boat slips and houseboats. Sightseeing trips, dinner cruises and even the thrill of parasailing and wakeboarding are as near as your front door.

The Greers Ferry Lake Dam was President Kennedy's last public dedication, which is commemorated in nearby Heber Springs by the John F. Kennedy Memorial Overlook. Also in Cleburne County, the William Carl Garner Visitors Center and Trout Hatchery make for favorite day trips for visitors to the area.

Sugarloaf Mountain, an island in Greers Ferry Lake, is accessible only by boat and offers visitors a wondrous trail to the summit of this island mountaintop and the chance to grab breathtaking photos of Greers Ferry Lake, the cliffs and lush scenery. The Enchanted Peninsula, located on the shores of Greers Ferry Lake, offers upscale living to those looking to relocate to the area and maintain an active lifestyle and fun in the sun.

World Class Fishing:

In our case, "World-Class Fishing" is fact, not hype. We can back it up with three world-record game fish. Greers Ferry Lake holds world records for Walleye (22 lb 11oz) and Hybrid Striped Bass (27 lb 5 oz). The Little Red River tail water, which feeds into Greers Ferry Lake, holds the current world-record for German Brown Trout (40 lb 4 oz).

Trophy-sized fish are common in our waters. Savvy guides put you "on the fish" in the lake and the river and we have plenty campsites, cabins and resort accommodations, ready and waiting to make your vacation complete.
