Heber Springs, the county seat of Arkansas’s youngest county, has historically been identified as a tourist area. Even before the town was formed, the area was known for its mineral springs. One of those popular springs, Black Sulfur Spring, was believed to be the answer for many ailments. Since the formation of Greers Ferry Lake on the Little Red River in the early 1960s, the town has become a popular resort for camping, boating, and other water sports.
