DeGray Lake Resort State Park, Lakeside state park in Bismarck, Arkansas.
DeGray Lake Resort State Park is a recreational area on the shore of a large reservoir in Arkansas. The grounds feature modern accommodations, golf courses, a marina with boat rentals, and numerous hiking trails.
The park opened in 1974 following the completion of a dam that created the reservoir and transformed the region into a major recreational destination. This development brought significant economic benefits to the surrounding communities.
The park serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors come to enjoy water sports and outdoor activities throughout the year. The lakeside setting has become central to how people in the region spend their leisure time.
The park offers many lodging options, including a hotel with rooms and camping spots directly on the water. The grounds are best explored on foot or by boat, since the trails and paths are well developed and clearly marked.
The main lodge sits on an island connected to the mainland by a bridge, giving guests a sense of seclusion. Almost every room opens to views of the water and surrounding landscape.
