Mount-Judea
is a small unincorporated community located in Newton County in northwest Arkansas. It sits at the junction of Arkansas Highway 74 and Arkansas Highway 123. Mount Judea is about 10 miles from the town of Jasper. The little town is nestled against the foot of Kent Mountain and was once a busy, thriving town. Although many have been forced to move away for jobs, the town which is called "Judy" by locals is surrounded my natural beauty. Craggy bluffs, majestic mountains, lush valleys and clear streams make up the area. The Buffalo National River is just three miles away. The hamlet of Mt. Judea has a grocery store, a café, a post office, sawmills, schools and a few other businesses. There are several vacation rental cabins in the area. More than one-third of Newton County is owned by either the National Park Service, U.S.D.A. Forest Service, State of Arkansas or county government. The area offers lots of outdoor recreational opportunities like hiking, canoeing, caving, rock climbing, fishing, hunting, mountain biking and horseback riding. The town of Jasper has a picturesque downtown square and is known for their annual Buffalo River Elk Festival. Arkansas Scenic Byway 7, the states first national scenic byway, cuts through the heart of Newton County and is well worth the drive.

Mount Judea Weather & Climate
|

|
|
Northern Arkansas is an area of rugged hills and deep valleys. This area is the coolest and driest part of the state. It also receives the most snow than any other part of the state, and may also receive sleet and freezing rain. This region generally receives several inches of snow each year due to the proximity to the plains states and the higher elevations. Summers are hot and humid, with frequent thunderstorms. Arkansas is known for being in the path of tornadoes. Also, while being far enough away from the coast to be safe from a direct hit from a hurricane, the state can often get the remnants of a tropical system which dumps tremendous amounts of rain in a short time and often spawns smaller tornadoes.
