Arrival of the Trumpeter Swans


Event Details


Plan a visit to the real “Swan Lake”! The regular passage of Trumpeter Swans to this obscure waterway in the Ozark foothills each Thanksgiving is something of a scientific enigma. We only know that it’s a breathtaking experience that will overwhelm you with a spectacle of simple grace & beauty. All nature lovers and photographers are invited! Reach Magness Lake via Hays Road in Heber Springs, and bring a camera!

Migration dates vary from year to year. The birds’ arrivals can extend from mid-November through February, but are expected to peak around Thanksgiving. For current details, call the Heber Springs Chamber of Commerce at 800-77HEBER.
