In the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains, resting on the shores of a pristine 13,800-acre lake lies DeGray Lake Resort State Park. As Arkansas’s resort state park, DeGray offers a wide range of amenities and experiences to choose from. Overnight accommodations range from a 96-room island lodge to 81 Class B campsites to three Rent-A-Yurts!
Guests can find their escape by hiking, fishing, swimming, boating, golfing, horseback riding, and more. In addition to being your outdoor recreation hub, the park serves as a haven for a variety of wild creatures. Lake and forest habitat join to create a community of wildlife. Thus, a visit to DeGray is a visit to many homes.
This video features a curious red fox kit exploring the perimeter of its home in the park, a fox den.
