DeValls Bluff is near the duck hunting capital of the world
and offers some of the greatest bass fishing in the White River
that runs through it.
The town was a significant site
during the Civil War. During his expedition up the White River
from Helena, Union Brig. Gen. Willis A. Gorman's cavalry captured
the town of DeValls Bluff, terminus of the railroad running east
from Little Rock toward Memphis, on January 17, 1863. Along with
the town he captured 25 Confederate troops, 90 new Enfield rifles,
and 2 cannon. The Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism
maintains a museum, Des Arc. |
 De
Valls Bluff also has the distinction of having one of a few vertical
lift (span-lift) truss bridges in the United States. On the list of
the National Register of Historic Places, this bridge was built in
1922 and spans the White River on US 70. A new bridge over the White
River has replaced this bridge. |
