Among the state district courts in Baxter county you will find Lakeview District court. SR 178 runs all the way through Lakeview.

The primary contributor to the economy of Lakeview is tourism due to its great location on the shores of Bull Shoals lake. The city plays host each year to a large number of fisherman as well as families taking advantage of the peaceful atmosphere and the beauty of the redbud and dogwood foliage and the Crepe Myrtle blooms. Nearby Bull Shoals-White River State park offers visitors and year round residents many opportunities for boating and fishing. The Lloyd Travis Civic center is equipped with a community room and often you can find works by artists from the town and the surrounding area hung on the walls. The City Park next to the center has a pavilion with grills, gardens, a walking trail, shade, tables, benches and clean restrooms.
