Located in the Ouachita Mountain area of Western Arkansas, Waldron allows you to experience the best nature has to offer while enjoying a friendly historic town atmosphere.  Waldron is a great area to live and raise a family.  Construction has just recently been completed on the new area elementary and high schools. The new facilities will be available to their students in the fall of 2007. 

The natural beauty that surrounds this area include many lakes such as Lake Hinkle and Lake Ouachita along with dozens of smaller lakes tucked quietly away among the beautiful landscape.  You can also enjoy seasonal hunting activities as well as river float trips, fishing, hiking, wilderness areas, spring-fed streams, wildlife and some of the best vistas in Western Arkansas while rappelling, hang-gliding, or hiking.

Fort Smith is nearby, about 45 minutes away, and offers lively cultural opportunities and excellent schools.  If golf is your bag, then the Fort Smith region has what you need in both public and private courses. The region boasts top notch public and private schools that can provide first-class instruction from pre-school through doctorate degrees offered by the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith Campus.

The Ouachitas Region is composed of a series of east-west ridges separated by narrow valleys that provide a mecca of opportunities for hunters. November white-tail deer hunting in this region is some of the best in the state of Arkansas, and this area consistently provides the state’s liveliest spring turkey hunting action. There are also large numbers of squirrel, rabbit, quail, black bear and dove hunting with varied seasons open for each game.  Fishing is great year-round in our area. The many sparkling lakes, rivers and streams offer ample opportunity whether you are casting for bass or fishing.
