Arkansas Flyway

Overview

Prairie County, Ark., home to the small towns of Hazen and DeValls Bluff, is one of our nation’s duck hunting capitals. Greenbriar Lodge, a storied duck camp there, sets a standard for habitat conversation and hospitality. Hospitality is also the work of Stanley Young and his wife Becky, the first couple of Hazen. Along with their children, they run Murry’s Restaurant, famous for fried catfish and bread pudding with whiskey sauce. Down the road, Big K Catfish Barn, set in a big metal shed on a working farm, welcomes hundreds of customers each Saturday night during their December to March season. In DeValls Bluff, the legacy of sliced pork sandwiches and big welcomes endures at Craig’s Bar-B-Q, founded in 1947 by brothers Lawrence Craig and Leslie Craig.
