Cotter on White River.
Drive U.S. Highway 62/412 west toward
Flippin. At the scenic overlook, view the river far below
you, the town of Cotter built on the bluffs, the railroad
bridge, and the historic rainbow arches of the R.M. Ruthven
Cotter Bridge. This arched bridge, restricted to light traffic,
is on the National Register of Historic Places and on the
list of National Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks, and
is treasured by the community. Both upstream and downstream
from the Cotter Bridge are commercial trout docks to help
visitors with their river fishing.

Valleys of beauty,
peace. Looking for peaceful
pastures and rolling hills? Then a left turn onto State
Highway 101 curving through the Rea Valley and Hand Valley
is a “must see” for visitors. Highway 101 merges
with County Road 6062 to lead you to the White River public
access landing known locally as “Ranchette”
and known nationally as “White Water.”
Backtrack on 6062 and
101 to Highway 62/412 and proceed toward Flippin. Ranger
Boats is the largest employer in Flippin, which is also
a center for light manufacturing of several types.
