Review:
Located outside of Hot Springs at the base of the Ouachita Mountains, Lake Catherine is a small and tranquil 1,940-acre lake that offers a wide variety of recreational and outdoor activities. Created by the Remmel Dam and the subsequent impoundment of the Ouachita River in 1925, Lake Catherine was the first of a tri-dam system on the Ouachita River and played a significant role in the growth of the area. Today, the serene lake offers a quiet escape from the city with plenty of outdoor fun, from pleasure boating, canoeing, and kayaking to swimming and fishing as well as non-water-based activities around the shoreline such as hiking and mountain biking.
