Rob's Guidebook

In 1996, when the Summer Olympics came to the South, Polk County changed significantly. The undiscovered treasures of our 5 scenic rivers, Parksville Lake, Benton Falls, the Civil War era camps, hundreds of miles of hiking and wildlife spaces, the majestic Cherokee National Forest, the historic Trail of Tears sites and so much more were suddenly discovered by people from all over the world! Today, you can find a thriving and growing recreation community filled with people whose families have been in the area since long before America was discovered - as well as folks who are just now settling in and calling Polk county home. Each year hundreds of thousands of people come to ride the river. Many of the rafting guides, restaurant owners and others who have come to serve the whitewater community have made their permanent homes here. There are tons of places and experiences to enjoy while you’re in this special place. Especially in a place where it’s so easy to feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere.

Benton Sporting Clays is our next door neighbor. You’ll hear them when you’re staying with us. If you’d like to take your place at the range - they’re easy to find on-line.
