About
John F Kennedy Park sits on the banks of Greers Ferry Lake in the Ozark Mountains of north-central Arkansas, operated by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Named for President Kennedy, who dedicated Greers Ferry Dam in October 1963 in one of his final public appearances, the park has become a popular destination for camping, fishing, and water recreation. The campground features 112 sites spread across Loops A, B, C, and D, with 68 sites offering electrical hookups and 44 providing both electric and water connections. Sites can accommodate RVs and trailers up to 73 feet on some loops, with paved back-in driveways. Amenities include flush toilets, hot showers, a dump station, and a boat ramp for direct lake access. Greers Ferry Lake spans over 30,000 acres and draws visitors for boating, sailing, water skiing, swimming, scuba diving, and fishing. The Little Red River below the dam is renowned for trophy brown trout. The William Carl Garner Visitor Center nearby features exhibits and a replica of the world record 40 lb. 4 oz. brown trout caught in these waters.
Directions
From Heber Springs, AR, take SR-25 north 4 miles, cross the dam, and turn right on the second road.
