Arlie Moore Day Use

Arlie Moore Campground and Day Use Area sits on the northern banks of DeGray Lake in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains. Hikers find Arlie Moore particularly inviting: in past years the Arlie Moore Interpretive Trail was selected as one of America's Top 25 Hiking Trails. Arlie Moore offers a reservable group use shelter, a boat ramp, a swimming beach, flush toilets and heated showers, along with a campground of RV, standard and tent-only campsites, each with electric hookups. The Arlie Moore Interpretive Trail is a double segment loop, approximately 1.3 miles (2.2 kilometers) in length, and meanders through a mature southern pine forest. In 2002, the trail was rehabilitated in large part due to a partnership grant from ALCOA. Numerous other hiking and bike riding trails wind around the lake shore. Boating, water skiing, kayaking and other water sports are the biggest draw to the lake. It is also stocked with a variety of game fish, including plenty of hybrid striped bass, making it an ideal area for both boat and bank fishing. DeGray Lake is one of the region's five Diamond Lakes, known for their crystal clear waters. The lake flows from the Caddo River in western Arkansas and spans 13,500 surface acres. The DeGray Lake Resort State Park offers golf courses, tennis courts, horseback riding trails and more along the 207 miles of lake shoreline, and the Ouachita National Forest and Hot Springs National Park are both located nearby.
