Review & FAQ:
Lake Chicot is Arkansas's largest natural lake and the largest oxbow lake in North America. Formed around 600 years ago, Lake Chicot is named after the French word for “stumpy” due to the abundance of cypress stumps that lie along its banks, adding to the beauty and serenity of the area. Resting in a flat delta area along a stretch of the Great River Road National Scenic Byway, the lake is home to a wide variety of waterfowl and wading birds, making for excellent birding and wildlife watching. The northern side of the lake features Lake Chicot State Park, which offers campsites, cabins, picnic areas, a children’s playground, and a swimming pool.
