Enjoy the State Park amenities which include a swimming pool with a small fee, free tennis courts, basketball courts, ball fields, a kid's playground, and 14 miles of hiking trails with geo cache sites.

Mount Nebo was rated in the top ten resorts in the country in the early 1900's, and was known as "The Resort Above The Clouds"; after all the springs are fountains of youth.

Enjoy golf on John Daly's home course at the foot of the mountain. Also Gala Golf course and Chamberlyne Country Club in Danville 15 miles south on hwy 27, or visit any of the seven courses in Hot Springs Village -- 60 miles south on Hwy 7, which was voted one of the top ten scenic highways in the US.

Branson, Mo. is approximately 120 miles north on Hwy 7, which is an excellent day trip. The 34,000-acre Lake Dardanelle is at the foot of the mountain, and hosts bass tournaments annually with excellent fishing.

Temperatures on the mountain are five to ten degrees cooler than in the valley; and we enjoy a pleasant breeze which makes this a great oasis in the summer months. Mt. Nebo has temperature inversions in the winter months and can be warmer than the valley.

My husband Daniel and I bought "The Summit House" on Mount Nebo in November of 2001. I began painting the summit view of the river valley from our house.  In August of 2002 to Dec 12, 2005 Stanley Rames, my mentor and I began giving watercolor workshops at The Summit House, then November I had a show of 'The Summit View' at the Arkansas River Valley Arts Center in Russellville.
