River Ridge Inn is located on the banks of the North Fork of the White River in Norfork, Arkansas. The North Fork River is truly one of the most heralded trout fishing tailwaters in the world. For those of you looking to make your first acquaintance to the area, you are in for a most exciting and relaxing time. At River Ridge Inn, we have succeeded in providing you with an atmosphere that compliments the rigors of fishing with a relaxing environment having all the comforts of home.

Whether you spend the day or night fishing for the new world record Brown Trout, a record Striper on Lake Norfork, or hiking the many trails in the Ozark National Forest, you know you can come back to the Inn where a hot shower or bath in every room is awaiting you, or, if you have reserved one of the cottages or new chalets, you will relax in the total solitude while enjoying the comforts of home.

"The North Fork River - A River Full of Records"

World Record Brown Trout, 38 lb. 9.0z caught by Huey Manely, Aug. '88. Still the second
largest brown ever caught. Six days later, David Wooten caught the 34 lb. 8 oz. brown trout shown here.

You can enjoy satellite TV in your room, or you can relax in our newly decorated 1000 sq. ft. lounge with its big screen TV and Satellite receiver so you won�t miss that big game.

How about just walking the grounds, sit on the cedar swing overlooking the river, relax on the dock where the temperature in the Summer can be 10 degrees cooler.

Take a sauna, or maintain your exercise routine in our well equipped exercise room, soak in the Hot Springs Hot Tub

or, cooking out on one of the grills or smokers located at the riverside pavilion or on the 900 sq. ft. patio.

Some of our guest have slipped away from the rigors of work but find it necessary to periodically �check in�. For those times we offer a work station consisting of a fax, computer, Wireless DSL internet service, phone line, copier and scanner.

Whether you play in the A.M. or in the P.M., the facilities at the Inn will be ready. Liz and Jim know that timing and planning of events around your work time is extremely important. Give us a chance to make your work more productive and your mind and body more at ease.
