The 18,700-acre lake was created by Ferrell's Bridge Dam on Big Cypress Bayou and has become a recreational destination in the Ark-La-Tex Pineywoods region. The facility features a large group picnic pavilion with electric hookups that can accommodate up to 100 guests, making it ideal for family reunions, company picnics, and group events. Additional amenities include a boat ramp, dock, sandy swimming beaches, volleyball court, and disc golf area. Popular activities include boating, fishing, swimming, and wildlife viewing.
