Welcome to Millwood State Park , one of 52 beautiful, historic
state parks, each with their own special mission. The other thing
they each have is a geocache. This adventure is based around
visiting all 52 state parks. Each park cache has a clue that you
will need to find the final, 53rd cache located somewhere in the
state. Just download the clue sheet and start your adventure. We
encourage you to upload photos on the geocaching.com page when
you find one and also to tell us about your visit to the park on
the state park blog. As an extra incentive, For
a limited time you can pick up an Arkansas State Park geocoin at
the final location and send it on it's way to visit parks
throughout the world!
Millwood State Park
A series of boat lanes meander through timber, marshes, and oxbow
cutoffs making Millwood Lake a "tree-filled" fishing haven. Famous
for bass tournaments, this 29,260-acre lake abounds in largemouth,
catfish and crappie. Spring and fall offer anglers great crappie
fishing here, and catfish and bream fishing in summer. Bird
watching is another popular activity here because of the lake's
variety of year-round inhabitants, and wintering eagles.
Park facilities include 115 campsites (two Class AA, 110 Class B,
and three Primitive) and one Rent-An-RV, picnic sites, a standard
pavilion, self-guided nature trail, and bicycle trail.
A marina offers souvenirs, gift items, groceries, bait, gas, and
fishing boats, canoes, kayaks pedal boats, and hydro bikes for
rent. Slip rentals are available throughout the year. [Marina:
