Up And Down In The River Valley
The River Valley is a natural division of the Ozark and Ouachita
Mountains and a great landscape for the game of golf. This broad, scenic
expanse sweeps eastward from Fort Smith to just northeast of
Central Arkansas, where it splays out into the Delta. Enhancing the
pastoral beauty are several mountains, including Mount Magazine, the
highest point in Arkansas.
