About Mountain Home

Mountain Home is the county seat of Baxter County in the southern Ozark Mountains, close to the Missouri line. It is the center of Arkansas's Twin Lakes area, with Norfork Lake to the east and Bull Shoals Lake to the northwest. Tourism and outdoor recreation have shaped the local economy, while Arkansas State University-Mountain Home gives the city a higher-education presence. Mountain Home feels like a practical Ozark service center with lake-country appeal built in.
