About
Cove Creek Park is located on Greers Ferry Lake in the beautiful Ozark Mountains of north-central Arkansas, providing an ideal setting for family camping, fishing, boating, and hiking. The campground offers 63 campsites, with 31 sites equipped with electrical hookups and 32 non-electric sites. Modern amenities include flush and vault toilets, hot showers, drinking water, a trailer dump station, swim beach, and boat ramp. An attendant is on duty during peak season.
Greers Ferry Lake spans over 30,000 acres and serves as a premier destination for outdoor recreation. The lake is renowned for boating, sailing, water skiing, swimming, scuba diving, and excellent fishing opportunities. The area is home to three National Nature Trails and a multi-purpose fitness trail for hikers. The surrounding forest features a dense mix of red cedar, black gum, red oak, elm, pecan, and sweet gum trees that provide abundant shade and spectacular fall colors.
Wildlife is plentiful around the lake, with frequent sightings of white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, rabbits, squirrels, and diverse bird species. The William Carl Garner Visitor Center, located just west of the dam, features exhibits, a children's touch table, and a replica of the world record 40 lb. 4 oz. brown trout caught in the Little Red River. With 18 parks around the shoreline, Greers Ferry Lake offers extensive opportunities for water sports and outdoor recreation.
