Located where the West Gulf Coastal Plain and the Mississippi Delta meet, this
peaceful park offers you the opportunity to explore two of Arkansas's distinct
natural settings in one visit. Hike or bike the park's 2,053 acres of rolling
woodlands, or paddle or fish on 1,675-acre Cane Creek Lake and experience the
lush beauty and abundant wildlife that inhabit Arkansas's Mississippi delta
lands. Just across the timber-filled lake, anglers and paddlers can also explore
Bayou Bartholomew, the world's longest bayou.
Park staff offer guided walking, biking, kayaking, and birding tours, and other
interpretive programs throughout the year.
The campground at Cane Creek features 30 campsites (Standard B, Preferred B
and a Rent-An-RV) and a modern bathhouse with hot showers. Cane Creek is one of

unit also includes a slide-out area. Alongside the RV is an 11' x 11' wooden
deck equipped with a table, chairs, and a cooking grill. The RV is permanently
set up on a campsite featuring water, electric, and sewer hookups. The unit
rents for $65/night. A $50 deposit is required per stay. Weekday rentals may be
made for one day. Weekends require a two-day rental. [The park system's other
Rent-An-RV opportunities are at Bull Shoals-White River State Park in far north
central Arkansas near Mountain Home. There, two units are available for rent.]
