About Highland

Highland sits along a ridge in Sharp County, right between Hardy, Ash Flat, and Cherokee Village in the Ozark foothills. The town originally grew around its central school campus before officially incorporating in 1998. Today, US Highway 62/412 runs through the center of town as a convenient commercial strip, giving residents easy access to local restaurants, grocery stores, and everyday services without losing the area's relaxed, small-town atmosphere.

Tucked away from the main highway, you will find quiet residential roads and several peaceful lakes, including Lake Mirandy, June Lake, and Wild Plum Lake. Lake Mirandy Park is a popular spot for fishing, swimming, and neighborhood gatherings on sunny afternoons. With the Highland School District serving as an active community anchor and the Spring River only a short drive away, the city is an attractive, affordable choice for families and retirees looking to settle in north Arkansas.
