Marion County, Arkansas
Marion County is located in north-central Arkansas. This area is known for its natural beauty with Buffalo National River (America’s first National River) as a highlight.
The Buffalo National River is in the southeast part of the county with world-class floating and hiking. Bull Shoals Lake, known for its clear waters and excellent fishing, covers much of the county’s northern area.
Yellville is the county seat and hosts the annual Turkey Trot festival. FYI, the controversial turkey drop has been discontinued. Also, there’s the Rush Historic District, which preserves a ghost town from Arkansas’ zinc mining era.
