Special Notice
Due to damage on the dam, Lower White Oak Lake is without water. According to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, the agency that manages White Oak Lake, the lower portion is not expected to refill until 2014. As a result, the White Oak Lake State Park marina is closed and all boat rentals have been suspended. However, all other facilities at the state park remain open including the visitor center, campground, trails, pavilion, and playground. In addition, a wide variety of interpretive programs will be offered in the park this spring and summer. [NOTE: Upper White Oak Lake is in good condition, and anglers are catching bass, bream, and catfish. Upper Lake access is a short drive from the park.] Contact the state park at 870-685-2748, or the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission at 501-223-6300, for updates on the lower portion of the lake.
