Arlie Moore Day Use

About

Arlie Moore Day Use is a reservable group pavilion on the northern shore of DeGray Lake, one of Arkansas's five Diamond Lakes known for crystal-clear waters. Managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the covered shelter accommodates groups of 1 to 50 people and provides electricity (15 amp), water hookup, picnic tables, and grills. The lakefront location offers shade and a short walk to the swim beach and boat ramp. This is a day-use facility, not a campground. Check-in is at 8:00 AM and checkout is at 10:00 PM the same day. Overnight camping is not permitted at this site. The nearby Arlie Moore Interpretive Trail, a 1.3-mile loop previously named one of America's Top 25 Hiking Trails, winds through the surrounding forest. DeGray Lake spans 13,500 surface acres and offers boating, water skiing, kayaking, and fishing for hybrid striped bass. The adjacent Arlie Moore Campground (a separate facility) provides overnight options for those seeking extended stays. DeGray Lake Resort State Park, the Ouachita National Forest, and Hot Springs National Park are all nearby.
