The Solar Eclipse of 2024
Searcy County is "The Best Place on Earth" to view the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse, so says California author Amanda Rose! April 8th, 2024 as we will see a Total Solar eclipse here in the gorgeous Arkansas Ozarks! Why? Naturally Dark Night Skies, the Buffalo National River, Ozark Mountain Spring Scenery, Abundant Waterfalls, Great Trails, Live Music, Great Food, Great Airport & Fly-in Destination, etc.
Outside Magazine has named the Buffalo National River as one of the Seven Best Places to see the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse! Top Seven in the World! Searcy County hosts approximately 48 miles of the Buffalo National River and it's ALL IN 100% TOTALITY! Of course the Dark Skies of the Buffalo National River should make us a stellar location! From Leslie to Pindall, Witts Springs to Harriet, Snowball to Oxley, St. Joe to Gilbert, Big Flat to Marshall! We are ALL IN! Come to Searcy County for the eclipse!
