Cane Creek State Park, State park between Gulf Coastal Plain and Mississippi Delta in Lincoln County, Arkansas

Cane Creek State Park covers over 2,000 acres of land where a large lake sits alongside a natural creek surrounded by forested hills. The terrain alternates between gentle slopes and steeper sections, creating a varied landscape.

In 1973 the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Soil Conservation Service agreed to fund the project, prompting the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission to build and maintain the 1,675-acre Cane Creek Lake within the park. The park covers 2,053 acres in Lincoln County, straddling the Gulf Coastal Plain and the Mississippi Delta beside Bayou Bartholomew.

The park offers guided programs where visitors can observe local animals and plants in their natural setting. These activities show how nature changes with the seasons in this part of Arkansas.

The park has trails for walking, boat rentals, and picnic areas that are open to all visitors. Plan to spend several hours exploring, and bring clothes suited to the season since weather and ground conditions vary throughout the year.

The park sits where two different landscape regions meet, bringing together uncommon geological formations and soil types. This geographical mix makes the natural experience here particularly varied and interesting.
