Welcome to Pates Place nestled in the beautiful Ozark Mountains of Arkansas! Outdoor Life magazine has chosen our area as one of the top places to hunt, fish, and live in the United States. Spend time on the Norfork Lake boating, skiing, swimming, scuba diving, sailing, or fishing for bass, catfish, crappie, walleye and more. Or, fish the cool tailwaters of the North Fork and White Rivers below Norfork Dam for fabulous rainbow trout, brown trout, and other trout species. There is no closed fishing season! If lakes and rivers aren’t your thing, simply relax and enjoy the splendid scenery of the majestic Ozark Mountains.
