Cabin in Hardy on Kiwanie Lake with fishing boat & kayak, near Spring River

A little history of the neighborhood: Lake Kiwanie was named for and is located at the old Camp Kiwani (no "e" in the original spelling) in Hardy, AR. Camp Kiwani (The Girl Scout Council of the Mid-South) began in 1920 when 80 acres in the foothills of the Ozarks near Hardy, Arkansas became the first Camp Kiwani and served until it was sold in 1960. It was one of the first Girl Scout camps built, about the same time Camp Miramichee and Camp Kia Kima began in Hardy on the Southfork of the Spring River. Camp Kiwani moved to Hardeman County near Middleton, Tennessee but the spirit of camping, canoeing and the love of nature remains. The neighborhood now consists of the private lake, cabins and homes conveniently located between Hardy and Cherokee Village (2 miles to each). This cabin (named Brownie) is part of Camp Miramichee Falls short term rentals. We have 8 rentals ranging in size from 1-room cabins to the 3,000 square foot home next to this cabin. We own three rentals in a row on Kiwanie Lake and 5 cabins on the Southfork River across the road, two blocks away.
Hardy is home to the Spring River, known for fishing and river floats, and the downtown has some great local shops. Outfitters are just a couple of miles away if you want to enjoy a float. Cherokee Village is home to seven lakes, two golf courses, restaurants, Walmart and an emergency room hospital. Come enjoy the outdoors and the small town charm of Hardy and the surrounding area.
