White Oak Lake State Park, State park and reservoir in southwestern Arkansas, US
White Oak Lake State Park encompasses 2,765 acres of pine forest land with a 1,656-acre lake that contains numerous submerged dead trees.
The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission established White Oak Lake in 1961 as their second-largest constructed reservoir for public recreational purposes.

Arkansas sits in the southern United States, where the Ozark and Ouachita mountains meet forested valleys and slow rivers. Away from the main highways, the state holds waterfalls hidden in national forests, abandoned settlements from mining days, and caves filled with limestone formations. Haw Creek Falls drops over a series of ledges in the Ozarks, while Blanchard Springs Caverns opens into chambers where underground streams have carved stone over thousands of years. Rush, once a zinc mining town, now stands empty along the Buffalo River. Boxley Valley offers open fields where elk graze beneath ridges, and the Cossatot River cuts through rocky rapids in the Ouachita range. These places show different chapters of the region's natural and human history. Historical sites and cultural centers add depth to the landscape. Monte Ne preserves the ruins of an early resort built beside Beaver Lake. The Hampson Archeological Museum holds artifacts from indigenous peoples who lived in the Mississippi River floodplain. Jacksonport once served as a river port on the White River, and the Delta Cultural Center documents the agricultural heritage of eastern Arkansas. From Sam's Throne, a rock outcrop with views across the Ozarks, to the old railway bridge in Clarendon, these locations lie off the usual routes and reward those who take the time to seek them out.
