White River

About The White River Region

Cotter, Arkansas is known as the “Trout Capital in the USA” for good reason. The White River is a year-round fishing destination that contains multiple species of trout, including Brown, Rainbow, Brook and Cutthroat trout. Flyfishing and reel fishing are equally popular. A lesser known fact about White River is the terrific bass fishing, with smallmouth, largemouth and white bass showing up in abundance. Guided and self-guided fishing trips are available, and lodging ranges from tent camping to full-on resort stays.
