Review & FAQ:

Located on the Saline River in the Ouachita Mountain Region of west-central Arkansas, Dierks Lake is a beautiful stretch of water spanning 1,360 acres and is surrounded by hardwoods and pine forests, offering a serene spot for relaxing in nature. Easily accessed off Highway 70, the lake was formed by the construction of Dierks Dam on the Saline River to provide flood control, water supply, recreation, and fish and wildlife conservation and was completed in 1975 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Today, Dierks Lake features three campgrounds, namely the Blue Ridge Park, the Horseshoe Bend, and the Jefferson Ridge, with over 100 campsites and several swimming beaches for sunbathing and swimming. The lake is also popular for pleasure boating and fishing.
