Lake Chicot State Park
The Mississippi Delta's captivating beauty and recreational
opportunities come together at Arkansas's largest natural lake,
Lake Chicot. Cut off centuries ago when the Mississippi River
changed course, this 20-mile long oxbow lake is a peaceful setting
for fishing, boating, and bird watching. Fishing for crappie, bass,
and bream is popular on the lake, especially on the upper end of
Lake Chicot during spring and fall. Fishing for catfish is great
throughout the year.
Located in the Mississippi Flyway, this park offers some of the
best year-round birding opportunities in Arkansas. The park offers
lake tours, levee tours, and other opportunities for you to view a
variety of birds and other wildlife.
Nestled in a pecan grove, the park offers 122 campsites (39 Class
AAA, 16 Class AA, and 67 Class B including several sites with Class
C options), 14 cabins with kitchens (many with fireplace, lake view
patio and fishing dock), a swimming pool (open in summer),
picnicking, standard pavilions (screened), laundry and playground.
The store/marina offers food, gifts, fuel and bait for sale. Here
you'll also find boats, motors and personal water craft to rent,
fuel, bait and a launch ramp. The visitor center features
