Fairfield Bay is a one-of-a-kind resort community located on the North shore of beautiful, pristine Greers Ferry Lake — a 40,000-acre crystal clear body of water best known for the water recreation it offers. Greers Ferry Lake is a US Army Corp of Engineers reservoir with approximately 350 miles of shoreline; so their expert management insures the clean, natural beauty for all of us to enjoy. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Natural State. After just one visit to Fairfield Bay, you’ll see why people are thrilled to discover one of Arkansas’ best-kept secrets……some of the most breathtaking views can be found overlooking Greers Ferry Lake, and its famous island, Sugarloaf Mountain. Fairfield Bay is equally known as a desirable retirement community, with the majority of residents enjoying the best years of their lives — still very busy and active, but with things they now have the “leisure” time they deserve! They can just relax if they want to, or be as active as they
want.
Located about 85 miles north of Little Rock, Arkansas’ capital city, Fairfield Bay offers the seclusion from heavy traffic and commercialization, yet centrally located to be able to access other areas easily. This is in the heart of the Ozarks, which offer great scenic views at every turn. We enjoy a mild climate and four seasons. And, Fairfield Bay is an incorporated city that is more or less self-contained with everything one would need to make life complete. Heber Springs is only 40 miles to the East, and Branson, MO, the nation’s music capital, is North about 90 miles. All of these make for fun day trips. But you’ll be ready to return to your home and the beautiful surroundings that your hometown of Fairfield Bay features.
With Greers Ferry Lake as our backyard, excellent fishing, boating, and other water recreation are available any time. The lake offerings have become popular outings for residents and visitors to the area alike. Fairfield Bay has its own marina with boat slips for lease, a rental fleet, fishing guides for assistance to catch ‘the big one’, a retail shop, and a dock-side cafe. The marina has a varied schedule for lake tours, shuttles, dinner cruises, festivals, and a very popular Fourth of July fireworks display. Other nearby clear rivers, like the famous Little Red River, also entertain you with trout fishing.
In addition to Greers Ferry Lake, Fairfield Bay is the home to two championship golf courses. The private course is Indian Hills Golf Course, an 18-hole championship course carved into the terrain of the Ozarks. It is picturesque and challenging. The Mountain Ranch Golf Course has been ranked as the top public resort course in the state by Golf Digest. It boasts of wide fairways, with scenic rolling hills, and amazing rock outcroppings. You will definitely want to play both courses!
