It's a tranquil spot set on a 645-acre lake with bass, crappie, bream, and catfish. In fact, it's the spot in Northeast Arkansas where the most 20-inch bass have been caught. From March through October, the visitor center sells a complete line of bait and tackle. With four hiking trails, the park is also a great place to visit in the fall and winter. Simply keep Petzooie leashed at all times.
