The beautiful lake is nearly as old as the city. The impoundment was created in 1932 in conjunction with the Ouachita River's Carpenter Dam construction. Today, Lake Hamilton has tons of water activities, eateries, and lovely parks. Your fun on the lake doesn't have to stop after the sun goes down however.
Spend a night or two at Blade Island for a real lakeside retreat.
