Y’all know that Arkansas is the only state that has an active diamond mine, which means it is known for producing rare gems. One of which is Jack’s Fishing Resort, a local treasure situated in the bluegrass music town of Mountain View Arkansas. This resort is the perfect place to enjoy a day on the water, and then eat the best finger licking catfish this side of the Ozarks.
Nestled on the picturesque banks of the White River in the heart of the Ozark Mountains, this family-owned resort has been serving up mouthwatering catfish and providing fun water activities since 1961.

Grab those paddles and life jackets and prepare your upper body for a day of canoeing along the scenic White River. The canoes can fit 2 people, but you can rent a raft that will comfortably fit a family of six to eight people.

Turn off the motor and drift smoothly along the banks of the White River in your rented Jon boat. Then sit back, grab your fishing line, and catch the biggest rainbow trout in the Ozarks.
