Lake Ouachita - Arkansas' Ocean . . .
Surrounded by the Oauchita National Forest, Lake Ouachita is known for its scenic natural beauty and the clarity of its waters. The 49,000-acre lake is one of the cleanest lakes in the United States. It's a water sports mecca, drawing thousands of visitors to its swimming, skiing, scuba diving, boating, fishing and camping. Angling for largemouth bass, striped bass, bream, crappie and catfish is popular in the open waters or quiet coves along the lake's 975 miles of shoreline. Lake Oauchita is one of the best striped bass lakes in Arkansas and has produced three state-record stripers. Marinas, resorts and campgrounds are plentiful all around the lake. Lake Ouachita is also home to Arkansas' first and only full-service lake resort spas. For more information, visit http://www.arkansasstateparks.com/lakeouachita
