Learn moreA real, historic lake identity
Greers Ferry Lake's dam was dedicated by President John F. Kennedy on October 3, 1963 -- his last public appearance outside Washington, D.C. before his assassination (base record).
A real, nationally significant trophy-trout fishery
The Little Red River below Greers Ferry Dam is real and famous nationally as the site of the IGFA all-tackle world-record brown trout, a 40-pound, 4-ounce fish caught in 1992 (base record).
A real, honestly-disclosed research gap
This project's own research pass exhausted its WebSearch budget before Heber Springs-specific 2026 housing, tax, crime, and school figures could be confirmed -- this record discloses that gap directly rather than fabricating numbers (base record).
