DeGray Lake

The United States Army Corps of Engineers built DeGray Lake, a reservoir on the Caddo River in Arkansas, 8 miles (13 km) from Arkadelphia. On the eastern side of the lake, Arkansas Scenic Byway 7 offers accommodations as well as views of the lake. In order to promote tourism and enjoyment on DeGray Lake, DeGray Lake Resort State Park was established in 1974.

The one and only Arkansas State Park Resort are located in DeGray Lake. At the Resort State Park, a lakeside lodge has over 90 rooms, many of which have water views. The Shoreline Restaurant and a day spa that accepts only appointments are other resort facilities.

Fantastic views of the water may be seen on the 18-hole professional golf course in the resort state park. There are multi-use paths in the vicinity for equestrian riders, mountain bikers, and hikers. Tennis, basketball, and swimming are additional sports available to visitors at DeGray Lake State Park Resort.

DeGray Lake's lakeside lodge is not the sole lodging option; the resort state park also offers roomy campsites for tents and RVs. Along the 13,000-acre lake, there are numerous other campgrounds. The lake is particularly well known for the large bass that is frequently plucked from the water.
