Some People Call This Lake In Arkansas A Little Slice Of Paradise
Paradise doesn’t have to mean a remote island in the Caribbean. Lake Ouachita’s beautiful shores make for the perfect summer getaway. Let’s take a break from work and pretend we’re soaking in sun at this lovely oasis.
During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.
Lake Ouachita is Arkansas' little slice of paradise. You can find the state park at 5451 Mountain Pine Rd., Mountain Pine, AR 71956.
You'll just need a tank of gas and a sense of adventure.
The state park has water skis, wake boards, tubes, and motor boats for rent at their marina.
Take a break to leisurely paddle around the islands, hike shoreside, or take advantage of the fishing mecca.
The lake is so clear that harmless jellyfish and sponges that can only live in the most pristine environments thrive there, which make it a fantastic scuba dive spot as well.
Pitch a tent or pick a cabin where the island breeze and pine scents come naturally.
