Come one, come all and enjoy a great time
visiting and talking geocaching.
Registration will begin at 8:00 a.m. with a full day of
activities.
The park has given us permission to camp in the area adjacent to
the visitors center near where we will have the event tent set up.
No reservations are required, but please let us know if you are
planning on camping with us.
If you would like a regular campsite, reservations must be made
in advance by calling the park at 501-767-9366. All of the RV sites
have already been booked. They tend to go quickly at this state
park.

Highway 7)
Take I-40 east to Russellville. Then, take Hwy. 7 south through
Jessieville. Turn right at Hwy. 192 and travel west six miles to
Hwy. 227 north. Make a right onto Hwy. 227 north, then travel two
miles to the park.
From Little Rock, Benton, Bryant, or south Arkansas to Lake
Ouachita State Park (via I-30)
