The…read morestaff that works in the visitor center were so friendly and welcoming and very eager to provide info about the park and answer any questions we had. Our campsite (#14) was perfection! Right at the lake's edge with our own, very well-maintained area for chairs, grilling, a picnic table, and steps that lead to the water's edge. We saw a Great Blue Heron and heard the Geese that are in the area. We ended the evening with a sunset that did not disappoint. We are already looking at the calendar for when we can come back.

We have stayed at this park/campground twice and have enjoyed it both times…read more Lots of great bike riding all throughout the park. There are spots that you can park on the water. So beautiful and very clean area. The visitor center is easy to access and has educational areas and interactive things to do with the kids. There is also a boat access there along with boat rentals at the marina.

There's a jogging track, a few piers to fish from, a kids playground and hiking trails that lead back into the woods. There's 53 acres to explore and I have been told, an excellent 4th of July fireworks display held by the water.

Many boaters, some swimmers (with designated areas and beaches even), some fishermen, and hikers scattered this area of Arkansas just outside of Hot Springs. It was fairly hot when we went, but still good fun and beautiful scenery. If time had permitted, I would have liked to take my daughters to Three Sisters Springs and other places. We instead stayed at Echo Canyon which is not technically part of the state park, but exists on Lake Ouachita.

A trouts flop on water that is so translucent, you fear, as did Narcissus, looking into it and losing your soul? A crane flies overhead, gracefully searching for prey. A wind brings a shower of the fall foliage, and a reminder that nothing is permanent. My mid-fall dreams are full of this water, and the sound it makes meandering along it's path to the eternal. I see a beautiful rainbow trout raising to the bait. The inevitable splash and taking of the line. The curl of my fly rod as I set the hook and the battle is on. Sadly, that was not to be this day (but I have caught many here before). Any time on the Little Red is time well spent. Book in hand, I relax on the rocky shore. I...am soothed by the sound of nothingness. Hundreds of millions of ripples caress the water of the Little Red every year, but today (that day), they were mine. Peace is a luxury. Aloha

We rented from Gypsy Canoe (see my review). Until we get more experience, we'll continue to rent from Gypsy. The Kayak Park has a few rapids for exposure.

Lots of people come here, and the main parking lot is always packed near the visitor center and restaurant. Sure there's lots of parking near the hiking trails, but up front not so much. This place reminds me of Top of the Rock in Branson. There isn't much in the way of activates here. I wish I was told more about this place. It seems Petit Jean is more centered around hiking and mountain biking. Lots of trails for both, and then a restaurant on a bluff that hikers, motorcyclists, and tourists seem to flock to. If you don't really hike, or bicycle, and don't really care about eating at a restaurant that looks over a bluff then save yourself a trip. I mean if I was an avid hiker I might really like this place, but since I'm not there's other places around just as beautiful without the drive.
