Review:
Lying just outside the tiny town of Perryville in the Arkansas River Valley, Harris Brake Lake is a reservoir that offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Lying within the Ouachita tourism region, the lake was built in 1955 by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission and is currently the third-largest lake owned by the state wildlife agency. Spanning 1,300 acres with a depth of just 6 feet, the lake and its surrounding landscapes are home to a wide variety of birds and waterfowl, such as mallards, wood ducks, teal, gadwalls, and widgeons. Harris Brake Lake lies next to an 800-acre green tree reservoir, a lowland area that floods during the rainy season, creating an attractive nesting site for birds.
