About

Arlie Moore Day Use Area sits on the northern banks of DeGray Lake in the Ouachita Mountains foothills, offering day recreation opportunities on one of Arkansas's Diamond Lakes. The facility provides a swimming beach, boat ramp, and picnic pavilion with electric hookup available for reservation. The highlight is the Arlie Moore Interpretive Trail, which was selected by the National Recreation Reservation Service as one of America's Top 25 Hiking Trails. This 1.3-mile double segment loop meanders through mature southern pine forest and was rehabilitated in 2002 through a partnership grant from ALCOA. Additional hiking and biking trails wind along the lake shore. DeGray Lake flows from the Caddo River and spans 13,500 surface acres of crystal clear water. The lake is stocked with hybrid striped bass and other game fish, making it popular for both boat and bank fishing. Boating, water skiing, and kayaking are popular activities. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages this day use area, which operates seasonally.
