You can find the latest COVID-19 updates from Arkansas State Parks on our detailed response page. All state park visitor centers and museums are currently closed on Mondays and Tuesdays as part of our response. If you have questions please email the park directly at [email protected].
Note: Lake Catherine State Park is one of our busier parks. If our parking lots are full, the park is at capacity and we will be monitoring entry into the park. We invite you to come another day or visit one of our less busy other state parks. This is important to protect your state park so you and others may enjoy it for years to come.

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. Boat rentals are available year-round. 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, one Rent-A-Camp, 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.
