Explore the Arkansas State Parks Lakes

Do you want to know more about Arkansas’s lakes? What better way than on a guided tour? Several of our state parks offer interpreter-led lake cruises and swamp tours, which are a fun way to experience the state’s natural beauty. 

  • At DeGray Lake Resort State Park, enjoy scenery and search for wildlife on this crystal-clear 13,800-acre lake (one of five Diamond lakes in southwest Arkansas) aboard the park’s tour boat. 
  • Take a unique look at Arkansas’s largest natural lake and cypress swamp at Lake Chicot State Park. Here you can see one of the state’s birding hot spots where you can get a glimpse of birds like egrets, herons, eagles, ibis, spoonbills, and the endangered wood stork. 
  • Travel to the heart of the Ouachita Mountains to Lake Ouachita State Park and take a cruise on the state’s largest lake. The lake’s immense size, pristine shoreline surrounded by National Forest land, and numerous islands provide remarkable beauty and scenery.
