Scenic Drive in Rural Small Town Garfield, Arkansas in Benton County

May 17, 2024 Driving around Garfield, Arkansas Near Beaver Lake in Benton County. I never made it to Beaver Lake! I was passing through and did not have enough daylight to do a round trip. I will return one day to see the lake. This is a wonderful scenic drive that allows one to see the beauty the state of Arkansas holds. Garfield was platted in 1883 and the post office has been opened since 1887! ***It is still open today, as of April 18, 2025. ..."Garfield is a city in Benton County, Arkansas. It is part of the Fayetteville–Springdale–Rogers, AR-MO Metropolitan Statistical Area. We are a city of about 500 beautiful souls. We are situated Northeast of Rogers, Arkansas, where citizens of Garfield enjoy fast and easy access to nearby attractions. Here are just a few: Garfield is a direct access to Beaver Lake, which is home to some of the best fishing and recreational areas in Arkansas, Garfield residents enjoy all the larger cities and entertainment of Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri, The City of Garfield is just a little over an hours drive to the ever-popular, Branson, MO 76 Strip, The Northwest Arkansas Craft Fairs, including War Eagle, are just a hop, skip and a jump all around Garfield, Then, of course we are a straight shot... into the always fun, Eureka Springs, about 20 minutes up the hill. Our attitude is definitely rural, and friendly. Travelling our side roads and streets will often get you 'waved at' for no other reason than a welcoming 'hello', whether we know you or not. We are the type of folk who prefer starlight to streetlights, and quality over quantity. We may not have the variety of a big city, but the merchants and service people of our stores, stations and restaurants are friendly and honest, and we're proud of them. And we have a great elementary school with a tradition of personal care and attention to our kids."... https://garfield-arkansas.us/ ******************** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garfiel... #arkansas #rural #smalltown #alongtheway #travel #timetraveler #gasstation #scenicdrive #scenic
