Arlie Moore Day Use

Overview

Arlie Moore Campground and Day Use Area sits on the northern banks of DeGray Lake in the foothills of the Quachita Mountains. 

Hikers find Arlie Moore particularly inviting. In past years, the National Recreation Reservation Service selected the Arlie Moore Interpretive Trail as one of America's Top 25 Hiking Trails.

Recreation

Boating, water skiing, kayaking and other water sports are the biggest draw to the lake, and a boat ramp and swimming beach are provided.

The lake is also stocked with a variety of game fish, including plenty of hybrid striped bass, making it an ideal area for both boat and bank fishing.

Numerous hiking and bike riding trails wind around the lake shore, including the Arlie Moore Interpretive Trail.

Facilities

Arlie Moore offers a mix of RV, standard and tent-only campsites, each with electric hookups. Other amenities include flush toilets, heated showers, a boat ramp, swimming beach, interpretive trail, and a reservable group use shelter.

The Arlie Moore Interpretive Trail is located in the Arlie Moore Recreation Area. The trail is a double segment loop, approximately 1.3 miles (2.2 kilometers) in length. The trail meanders through a mature southern pine forest. In 2002, the trail was rehabilitated in large part due to a partnership grant from ALCOA.
