Flippin, AR

Set in the rolling hills of the Arkansas Ozarks, Flippin is a small Marion County town surrounded by some of the best waterways in the state. Bull Shoals Lake sits just to the north, the White River flows past to the east, and the Buffalo National River is a quick drive to the south. The area grew from a quiet 1800s farming settlement into a tight-knit community where daily life is closely tied to the surrounding rivers and lakes.
