The marina at Lake Catherine State Park will be closing on Sept. 7 for the season due to construction. We will continue to rent kayaks, canoes and standup paddleboards from the visitor's center from Sept. 8 to Oct. 31. No resale fuel at the marina will be available from Sept. 8 - March 15, 2025.
Dam Mountain Trail will be closed from November 1 to January 6. This annual closure is a precautionary measure during hunting season. We take safety seriously and appreciate your understanding regarding this temporary closure. There are many other beautiful trails and activities in the area to explore. Our staff is more than happy to assist you in finding alternative options for hiking and recreation during your stay. Contact Lake Catherine State Park at 501-844-4176.

What to know
This peaceful park is located on Lake Catherine, one of five lakes in the beautiful Ouachita Mountain region. The only full-service marina on the lake is here at the park and open in the summertime for bait, snacks/drinks, and fuel. The park also includes a launch ramp, pavilion, picnic sites, playgrounds, and a well-marked trail that leads to a waterfall.
The park has 20 fully equipped cabins, including one two-bedroom cabin with a patio overlooking the water and private access to the lake from its own fishing pier. There are also many native stone and wood buildings on-site. The history of these structures dates back to the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s. The park offers 70 campsites (47 Class AAA and 23 Class B), six primitive tent sites, and one Rent-A-Yurt. Many of these sites are on the lakeshore. Park interpreters offer hikes, lake tours, and programs year-round.
Guided horseback rides are offered seasonally. Open daily at 10 a.m. from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. Fall & Winter: Open 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday through Thanksgiving. Though not required, reservations are recommended and to make horseback riding reservations only call 501-262-0777. They cannot answer questions about the park. $50 per person including tax. Please pay at the stables. Group rates are available.
