    Lake Leatherwood image
    We hit the water before noon and after renting two canoes and a paddle boat we spent around $60 for the two young ladies and wife and I. Quite peaceful and quiet we journeyed around the lake without hearing one word from anyone else. You can fish off the dock. Rent a camp site for your tent or RV with hookups. Very relaxing. The rental for canoes was for one hour and for us that was plenty of sun and time on the water. See more..

    Bull Shoals Lake Boat Dock image
    Given the fact of the virus hitting all over we tried something new. We went to Arkansas! Bull Shoals Lake to be exact. The customer service was the sweetest and the sunsets were breathtaking. Not only were we surprised by such a family oriented place but the staff made you feel like you were visiting a home away from home. The weather was unpredictable but the sunsets after a storm... WOW. well worth it. I was skeptical when I read reviews about the not so nice customers and the dirtiness of the place.. but you obviously can’t believe everything you read. I’m not sure where THOSE bathrooms were but these are the ones we were provided. I would highly recommend this place for a small getaway to anyone! My family will be coming back next year! Thank you guys so much. See more..

    I've been coming to Lake Greeson for 30 years. It's clean, beautiful, serene and large enough to accommodate the traffic on summer weekends. Plenty of small coves for fishing or paddling, great for skiing and fishing. Camping is excellent, as are the marinas and lodging available. See more..
  8. 4.0 Black Bass Lake City Park (41 reviews)
    - Great Short Hike
    Spent 1-2 hours Bodies of Water • Parks • Hiking Trails
    Black Bass Lake City Park image
    So it turns out that my parents lead a hike here for their hiking group and there is the long hike and a short hike. We opted to do the short hike that goes along the lakes perimeter. However the first thing you see leaving the parking lot is that the dam which creates the lake is leaking in two spots and needs some serious repair work done. The hike along the edge of the lake is pretty easy save the hike up at the start. He saw lots of flowers plus slider turtles and salamanders. My dad did take me off on a side trail to see a beaver den that wasn’t two far from the first bridge you cross. The second bridge is under repair but as the stream bed was dry when we were there we could easily bypass the bridge. Really fun and worked up a big appetite. See more..

    We stayed on the shore of the lake with an almost panoramic view of it from our windows & porch. Beautiful sunrises & lake scenes in different light & times of day. We used the canoe from the resort to go out on the lake 3 times. It was very serene. Tried fishing a few times but no luck. Cycled around the lake which was great. A few challenging hills. See more..

    This zip line has one big bang to it being the second line. A very high, fast, long line. The other 5 were average to rather short. Still worth the $50 in my opinion. good staff. See more..

    Looking for a great place to go and relax with the family. This is the place!! My family and I have been vacationing there for the last 12 years.

Almost every 10 sites has a bathroom for it with multiple Flushing toliet and showers. Every Friday night they play movies outside on a sreen for everyone.

  21. 4.5 Bayou Bartholomew (2 reviews)
    - two steps from city, and you're in the wilds
    Bodies of Water
    Headwaters to "The worlds largest Bayou: Bayou Bartholomew is a beautiful piece of water. I took my kayak down behind the local Wal Mart parking lot where locals were fishing from the bank. Easy parking and boat launch access and I was trimmed upstream through the reeds and cattails. Some local group oversees this body of water. It was free of tree snags for as far as I could go. Once before I've gone downstream, under the freeway cloverleaf (too fun!) and into the thick of the swampy parts. It was beautiful! If you like the outdoors, try this body of water. There are great walking paths upstream a bit at 'Old Waren Road' if you don't want "IN" the water. Snake-spotting is a pretty safe bet. All free, of course. See more..
