I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
Y’all know that Arkansas is the only state that has an active diamond mine, which means it is known for producing rare gems. One of which is Jack’s Fishing Resort, a local treasure situated in the bluegrass music town of Mountain View Arkansas. This resort is the perfect place to enjoy a day on the water, and then eat the best finger licking catfish this side of the Ozarks.
Nestled on the picturesque banks of the White River in the heart of the Ozark Mountains, this family-owned resort has been serving up mouthwatering catfish and providing fun water activities since 1961.
Whether you wanna spend the day drifting on the scenic river in a kayak or canoe, or on a guided fishing tour, or in a flat-bottom boat, Jack’s is the place for you. These water toys are available for full and half day rentals.
Grab those paddles and life jackets and prepare your upper body for a day of canoeing along the scenic White River. The canoes can fit 2 people, but you can rent a raft that will comfortably fit a family of six to eight people.
Turn off the motor and drift smoothly along the banks of the White River in your rented Jon boat. Then sit back, grab your fishing line, and catch the biggest rainbow trout in the Ozarks.
After you spent the day on the water, you probably worked up an appetite. Have no worries because JoJo’s Catfish Wharf is famous for serving up the most delicious catfish in Mountain View Arkansas.
Good down home folk and mouthwatering food is the best way to describe this eatery. Whether you enjoy your catfish grilled or fried, you will be satisfied after eating one of the delicious catfish meals from JoJo’s.
And no catfish meal is complete without some crispy hush puppies. JoJo’s is famous for serving up the best hush puppies in Arkansas. Try the pinto beans and homemade tartar sauce as well because they are delicious.
So folks, the next time you’re in Mountain View, stop by Jack’s Fishing Resort to enjoy a day of fishing or relaxing on the scenic White River, and then stop by JoJo’s for some good down home cooking.
