The great fishing lakes of Arkansas are among its most prized possessions. Constantly fed by cold-flowing
springs and creeks, the mountain fishing lakes are among the cleanest in the world. Scuba divers and
underwater photographers marvel at the water clarity, while fishermen are happy with the trophy-sized
lunkers they hook in the same waters. The Ozarks offer Bull Shoals, Greers Ferry, Norfork, Beaver,
Dardanelle and other smaller lakes. The Ouachita Mountains boast DeGray, Greeson, Hamilton, Catherine,
Nimrod and Ouachita lakes. And, south Arkansas boasts Lake Millwood, White Oak, Chicot (the state's largest ox-bow cutoff from the Mississippi) and others lakes in Arkansas.
Houseboats, sailing rigs, party barges, fishing boats, rafts, parasails and jet skis are just some of the
watercrafts enjoyed on Arkansas lakes. In addition, trout fishermen and nature lovers use the popular flat-bottomed johnboat to navigate the shallow tail waters below the big power dams.

-crossing the state and providing a wealth of historical information along the way. Eight maps provide reference points along the way. Your purchase

and see the rich history which lies along that highway. Not only are the more popular sites examined, but you are also shown the many places in between
those sites which are most often overlooked. 90% of our history is either distinguished by only a marker or no marker at all. That is the history most
travelers are missing, and that is what the purpose of Caddo Publications USA is, to bring that missing history to everyone's attention.
