Why, because it costs nothing. Pull in, visit a million dollar visitor center and walk around the park. A hidden beauty!
Just spent some time at Lake Dardanelle StatePark. On a Tuesday it was amazing to see all that is going on, all that is available for so many different interests. The lodge is simply beautiful and many live educational exhibits. Lots of kids inside who were really enjoying the exhibits with live fish, turtles, and a few reptiles. I'm coming back for the butterfly guided tour, the self-guided tree hike and the bird watching events. This is a beautiful and a great place for outdoor exploring!
Terrific park! Only stayed one night but we were right by the water (off season). Great bathrooms, lots of grass without thorns for your dog - v happy here!
What a wonderful site we had experienced at Lake Dardanelle State Park. AR. The grounds are clean and campsites are level. Their visitor center is amazing. We surely will stay again on our next visit Out East!
Arkansas has some amazing lakes and natural atractions and this state park is definitely one of them! My suggestion is to go in the fall when the air is crisp and the trees are alive with color!
The lake is making a strong comeback, the bass are stocky and plentiful, they can be caught a varity of ways. Softplastic tubes and craws are my favs, and dont forget the SENKO!
The lake is beautiful...especially with the sun setting over it. The visitors center located there was neat. There are big tanks filled with the types of fish that inhabit the lake.
Seems like not a lot to do there. We hiked a trail, but was not very picturesque. The park is in the river valley on the lake.
1 Camper/1 Tent/4 Adults and 4 Kids(all age 6 and under) visited this lake over Labor Day weekend. We had a blast, but then again we love camping. The brand new bathhouse was air-conditioned and stayed clean and well-stocked in TP, and had an handicap shower available. Plenty of fishing spots for non-boaters like us. Beach was clean and wide, but more shallow water than there was deep. Visitor's Center is supposed to be very nice, but we didn't get to go inside, with so much else to do.
A little out of the way but very nice accommodations and scenery.
