Norfork is a city in Arkansas, United States, and has a small population of just over 500 people. It’s a fun place to go sightseeing if you’re a nature lover. There are great spots here for fishing, boating, and hiking. A popular destination is the White River, which is known for its rainbow trouts, and also has a vast variety of aquatic insects. There are large stoneflies here, so “old school” fishermen would have no problem luring fish here. You may also canoe in the river.
To fully appreciate the city, one must spend a few days here. It’s best to stay in a cabin where you can fully appreciate the forests and rivers in the vicinity. Read on for the top cabin rentals in and near Norfork, Arkansas, for stays.
