Unless you live around here you might not know there are two Sugarloaf Mountains in the area, one on land and one in the lake. Both are worth checking out and host beautiful views. The one on land is accessible from a trailhead near Arkansas State University-Heber Springs (some novice rock climbing is involved to reach the summit but several other trails are easily accessible) the other by boat in Greer’s Ferry Lake. Fairfield Bay Marina offers a shuttle to the island or if you are feeling more adventurous you can rent a boat or canoe from Peters Sugar Loaf Marina. There is a courtesy dock on the southeast side of the mountain.

Movie classics “Gone with the Wind” and “The Wizard of Oz” were the top movies of 1939. The same year that the Gem Movie Theatre on Main Street in Heber Springs, Arkansas first opened its doors.
Decades later, many things remain the same at the Gem Movie Theatre. You can still see the biggest movies of the year. The beautiful art-deco, neon-lit marquee was included after the theatre was destroyed by a fire and rebuilt in 1941. It still shines bright above the box office window. And the popcorn machine, one of the first of its kind in the area, still produces the best smelling and tasting movie treat. ~Discover Arkansas
