The natural beauty of Arkansas just begs to be explored, and one of the best ways to bask in the outdoors is by taking a day trip. Here’s a beautiful lake with plenty of recreation opportunities to keep you busy all day (or all weekend!)
Lake Greeson is located just south of the Ouachita National Forests. This 7,000-acre lake is so gorgeous, and it’s full of recreation opportunities.
One of the best ways to enjoy Lake Greeson is by spending the day at Daisy State Park. You’ll find this pretty 276-acre park right off US-70, near the town of Daisy.
