Narrows Park is located on Greers Ferry Lake in the beautiful Ozark Mountains of north-central Arkansas. The environment provides the ideal location for family camping, fishing, boating and hiking.
Greers Ferry Lake is an outdoor enthusiasts' dream, with boating, sailing, water skiing, swimming, scuba diving and fishing opportunities. Hikers enjoy the area's three National Nature Trails and one multi-purpose fitness trail.
The William Carl Garner Visitor Center is just west of the dam, with exhibits, a children's touch table, and a replica of the world record 40 lb. 4 oz. brown trout caught in the Little Red River downstream of the center.
This campground offers 58 sites, all with electric hookups. Additional amenities include flush and vault toilets, drinking water, showers, a dump station, picnic shelters and a boat ramp.
A dense mix of red cedar, black gum, red oak, elm, pecan and sweet gum trees forest the area, providing shade in the summer months and beautiful fall colors in autumn.
Wildlife is plentiful around Greers Ferry Lake. Visitors commonly see white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, rabbits, squirrels and a wide variety of birds.
With over 30,000 acres of water surface, the lake serves as a playground for all kinds of water sports. Eighteen parks around the shoreline provide modern campgrounds, boat ramps, swim areas and marinas.

Love this amazing and historic place. Was here during the early 90’s exploration and dig when the U of A archeology dept came in and explored the area. Many many petroglyphs line the wall of this amazing and beautiful place. Seeing signs of early man written on the walls makes you think how hard they really had it back them surviving in the wild and seeking shelter under a lonely rock bluff shelter deep in the woods. Definitely a must see for adventurers and even historians. There’s also a little writeup online if you look up The Narrows it shows pictures of what they found and the brief history behind it.
