Located close to the spa city of Hot Springs and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Ouachita National Forest, Lake Ouachita State Park beckons all nature lovers and outdoor adventurers.

The waters of the lake are pristine and you can fish for a variety of species, including bream and largemouth bass, on the open waters or along a multitude of quiet coves and inlets along 975 miles of shoreline. Visitors flock to the lake to enjoy swimming, scuba diving, boating, and other water sports or to go hiking and wildlife watching along the two trails. You can rent a fully equipped cabin or book a campsite to fully appreciate the park.
