Named for the nearby mountain range, Ozark, Arkansas is the perfect vacation destination for traveling families and adults seeking an active, yet stress-free vacation in a friendly, scenic community.  The Ozark River meanders along the south side of town, and you can even spot ocean-going freighters transiting the locks, while touring the Lock and Dam system.  Fishing, camping, boating and swimming make this city a great destination for kids and family groups.
