Lake Ouachita Information

Named one of the cleanest lakes in America, the 40,000-acre Lake Ouachita in Arkansas is famous for its natural beauty. The lake is surrounded by the Ouachita National Forest, which is one of the major attractions for visitors, who also come to the lake to participate in various water sports and activities such as swimming, fishing and boating. Lake Ouachita offers wonderful recreational activities and there is a lot more to see and do in the area.

Lake Ouachita State Park is home to the historic Three Sisters’ Springs, which is a source of natural spring water that is accessible through a springhouse with exhibits. Lake Ouachita State Park has become famous for offering cruises on Lake Ouachita—a fun and relaxing way to see the beautiful mountains and scenery. Swimming beaches are also offered at Lake Ouachita State Park, and scuba divers enjoy the clear waters at more than 30 distinct dive spots in the lake. Lake Ouachita is also popular among anglers, who come here for striped bass and largemouth bass fishing. Make sure to acquire an Arkansas fishing license if you don’t have one already. Around mid-June, there is a spearfishing tournament that takes place on the Saturday after season opens. A popular hike is the four-mile Caddo Loop Trail, which outlines a rocky peninsula in Lake Ouachita State Park. If you’re looking to play some golf, nearby Hot Springs Village is the ideal location with premiere courses.
