Catfishing is great. We have pulled fish as big as 10 lbs. I have trails cut through the woods on my 10 acres for short nature walks

Gary was responsive to my questions and very helpful. The site was beautiful and secluded. You can hear a little bit of the interstate noise, but it's not distracting. It was a great place to spend a night while taking a long journey. Very convenient location. I highly recommend.

I got in after dark and contacted Mark to lead me in. Don't hesitate if you need help. He responded promptly and was welcoming. Very private, quiet and lovely piece of property. Pond, lights, nice gathering spots with seating and fire pits. Heated bathroom and shower!!! Very nice for cold weather campers. Would visit again if I pass this way in the future. May be a stay in the pond side cabin. Thank you Mark!

Mark was a great host and made me feel welcome the first day of the stay! He allowed me to enter the property later than usual because of my delayed arrival! Made sure to take the time to see me the next morning and have a great chat! Absolutely loved the property and the view! If I’m ever back in town I will definitely be back!

Level, spacious, and nestled under a beautiful old tree! Hookups are on the “wrong side”- power reached no problem but needed our extra length water hose, and Andrew provided extra length to reach septic. Great location, <5 min from town where there’s a Walmart, o’reilley’s, fast food, etc! Would stay again!

Beautiful place from what I could see of it! I came in at night and left in the dark so a super quick trip, but it was a convenient location to the highway. It was a bit challenging to find the address - I drove by a couple of times. And I wasn’t entirely sure where the site was from the instructions or map, but if I had come in the daylight, it would’ve been obvious. Mark was great and communicative so I was super appreciative of that!
Bathroom was great. Felt safe as a solo female traveler. For my one quick overnight, it was great and I have no doubt it would be awesome for a longer stay!!

Overview
About
Located about 23 miles east of Pine Bluff, Pool 3 Lock and Dam may not have a special name, but it does feature three recreation areas along the Arkansas River, two of which offer boat launches and a chance to get in on some excellent catfish action. Anglers also report excellent supplies of bass, crappie, and bream. Just north of the area lies Bayou Meto State Game Area, one of the largest state-owned wildlife management areas in these United States, encompassing 33,832 acres in Arkansas and Jefferson counties. Because the lakes are flooded here to attract waterfowl, the green-timber duck hunting is some of the best in the state, and is generally the heaviest recreational use of the area.
When to go
The ideal time to visit Arkansas River - Pool 3 Lock and Dam is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty of the area is at its peak. Summer brings warmth and a full bloom of activity, but also higher visitor numbers. Winter can be less crowded but prepare for cooler temperatures and a more tranquil river experience.
Know before you go
- Check water safety guidelines and river levels before planning activities on or near the water.
- Be aware of the local wildlife and follow guidelines to ensure a safe encounter.
- Accessibility may vary across different areas of the park, so plan accordingly.
- While there are no campgrounds, day-use areas offer facilities for picnics and family gatherings.
- Remember to carry out all trash and leave the natural beauty of the park undisturbed for others to enjoy.
