Small but beautiful state park in the north west part of Arkansas. A national scenic byway goes right past it. The young lady at the counter was extremely helpful and any questions she might not have known we're answered by the ranger. Definitely will recommend the park to my church who go on family campouts a few times a year. You can rent boats and the facilities were very clean!

Great park with lots of options for outdoor activity! Fishing on the lake was easy and nice; the visitors center has lots of free information and things to purchase!

Outstanding staff... love the critters in the gift shop. The Ranger was very versed on the wildlife in and around the area. Lots of walking trails, for a nature hike. The lake was beautiful. Very beautiful park altogether. I do recommend a visit if you have never been.

Beautiful and serene place for a quiet vacation. I stayed at a lake house and enjoyed all the views and surroundings.

Great place to fish, even though I didn't catch anything this time I have before, so I know there's fish in there, we just haven't figured out exactly where
