Lived here the majority of my life, I love this little lake, great area for small kids! No wake lake, camping. Food at the concession stand and a few kayaks available for rent. Also a small put put area to play.
On the way down from Mount Magazine you can see this recreational area where you can stop just relax and see the beautiful lake that surrounded by fall colors. I just loved this place its so peaceful. You need to pay 5$ for entering there is book where you need to enter all the details manually and put 5$ cash in the box. I would say visit this place on the way to ozark and experience the views by sitting at lake. I saw some people swimming so I think you can swim here so you can plan that also.
Beautiful camp site. Only 2 families were there when we went. Showers and toilets at the main facility were nice. The other ones had no flush. Toliet paper was supplied. Make sure you are stocked on food... Many things close at 7pm or are miles away ( this is more for people that have never been to the area). ❤️
Scenic viewpoint while climbing onto Mount Magazine trail. The drive is beautiful while in fall and has couple of cabin/resort next to the lakeshore.
Located 20/25mins drive from city of Paris in Arkansas
