About John F Kennedy

John F. Kennedy Park is located on the Little Red River just downstream of Greers Ferry Dam in the beautiful Ozark Mountains of north-central Arkansas. In his last major appearance before his death, President John F. Kennedy stood on a flag-draped platform overlooking the just-completed Greers Ferry Dam and spoke of the prosperity the lake would bring to the region. Today, a million visitors flock yearly to the scenic waters for family camping, fishing, boating and hiking.

Quiet, very woodsy, the mist on the water makes you feel as if your in a secret forest. Campsite was beautiful. Will definitely go back for longer.

The park was very clean. The employees that I met were very nice and friendly and very helpful. The only problem I have is that I can't get a new reservation soon enough.
