About Norfork

Tucked into the Ozarks of north-central Arkansas, Norfork sits right where the North Fork flows into the White River. It is a quiet, scenic spot famous for some of the best cold-water trout fishing in the country. Life here naturally revolves around the water, whether you are wading the riverbanks with a fly rod, launching a boat onto Norfork Lake, or visiting the historic 1829 Jacob Wolf House overlooking the valley.

For families, the Norfork School District keeps students from kindergarten through high school together on one close-knit campus. The town itself has a relaxed atmosphere supported by local river guides, outfitters, and active community programs. When you need major shopping, dining, or healthcare, Mountain Home is just a quick fifteen-minute drive up the highway, giving you peaceful outdoor living with everyday conveniences close at hand.
