About Cane Creek State Park

2,053 acres spread across the boundary of the Gulf Coastal Plain and the Mississippi Delta, most of it shaped by rolling wooded hills, deep draws, and steeply sloping ridges. Within those acres sits Cane Creek Lake, a wooded 1,675-acre lake bordering Bayou Bartholomew, described as the world's longest bayou. Federal funding pledged in 1973 through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Soil Conservation Service led the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission to build and maintain the lake that now anchors the park.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
