L.O.S.T…. What in the world are we talking about? We are talking about the most beautiful lake in Arkansas and the most beautiful lake we have seen anywhere. We are talking about getting L.O.S.T. with the likestocanoe gang on Lake Ouachita. We are talking about the Lake Ouachita Scenic Trail… Come join us on Beautiful Lake Ouachita, the second cleanest lake in the continental United States. Come take a trip along the rocky shores of our lake and view the magnificent mountains that surround her. Come and feel the gentle Summer breeze or the cold bitter wind that can be found here. Visit this “perfect place on Earth” as far as the likestocanoe gang is concerned. Come get L.O.S.T. with us…
From here you can watch the sunrise or the sunset, and coming from someone who has seen both they are magnificent. Stop and enjoy the view, the breeze, and the sunshine.
More Lake Ouachita info:
Another underwater rarity at the lake that divers get to see is the freshwater sponge (spongilla demospongiae). The sponges are most noticeable in the fall season and can get to "saucer” size in the lake. They are usually light tan to green, thin and look like a sponge attached to rocks and tree trunks.
The multicellular animal acts as a sieve to filter microscopic life from the water. Like the jellyfish, the sponge dies in the late fall, but not before forming a seed-like body called a gemmule that is immune to freezing and drying. This gemmule can be transported by wind, water and birds' feet to other bodies of water.
You are in search of a peanut butter jar complete with goodies, so come on out and enjoy what we think of as OUR LAKE...
