Greers Ferry is absolutely beautiful with the clearest lake water I've ever seen! There are several cliffs to climb and safely jump from. Boats gather in the cove to watch the kids jump screaming into the lake. Plenty of quiet spots to fish. There is also a restaurant you can boat up to, tie off and go up for a meal. We loved it so much that we bought a lake front place so we could visit as often as possible. You'll have a great time!
We live in Memphis and make the 3 hour drive to spend the day here instead of the many lakes in our own area. The water is clean and crystal clear. You can relax and float on the water, jump of the cliffs into the lake or sit on the rocky shores and take in the sun and sights. The water is so clear that you can sit on the float or rocks and watch all the fish and even ducks swim around you. Yesterday we had many rainbow trout fish swimming around us on the float. They were so awesome to watch. My son and his friend enjoy jumping of the cliffs while we watch. Always lots of over people to interact with if you choose to. I kinda get on my float and check out drifting around in my own world. The marina is great, lots of picnic sites and camping areas. Always a great day on this lake. My only complaint is that other than the lake there is nothing else in the town to eat. It's isn't enough to keep us from coming back though.
We enjoyed the entire area. The hikes from the visitor center along the bluff are fun to hike. We also did the one up by JFK Memorial
The size of Greers Ferry Lake never fails to amaze me - in places it looks more like an ocean! I've been visiting family in this area since before the lake existed, and perhaps what most amazes me is that it has retained its pristine natural beauty for more than half a century. This trip we fished - quickly catching bass next to one of the public boat docks. Last trip the highlight was water-skiing, and we're planning to return next summer to do more of both...
Greers Ferry Lake has 600 miles of shoreline and is located in northcentral Arkansas. I am most familiar with the Choctaw Park access to the lake, Just 5 minutes south of Clinton. The Lake and campsites are clean and family friendly. Great fishing, swimming, skiing and relaxing.
Great, clear water lake, lots of miles to ride and ski and fish and whatever floats your boat. Multiple accesses around the lake.
Beautiful, clean & quiet. The fish we caught were delicious! An adventure we will always talk about.
What a great place. The lake is so clear. Great swimming, boating, skiing, tubing, and fishing. The area has wonderful forests for hiking, camping. A great time was had by all. This lake and area can not be beat for anyone who loves nature.
Never had a bad time at Greers Ferry Lake. We have family reunions there and we all bring our boats and jet skis. It's usually a weekend event and there's plenty of places to eat. Not much as far as the little town but who needs to go to town with a beautiful lake to play in. It's a very large lake, clean and some good fishing. There is a grocery store and a $ store in the area.
We went over to the Island and took a beautiful hike to the top. You can see eagles if your lucky. It's so worth the hike.
