About this destination
Lake Fort Smith is a 1,400-acre reservoir located in the Boston Mountains of northwest Arkansas, near the city of Fayetteville. It was created by the damming of the Frog Bayou, a tributary of the Arkansas River, and is situated within the Lake Fort Smith State Park. The lake is popular for boating, fishing, swimming, and camping, and its surrounding forested hills offer opportunities for hiking and mountain biking. The park also features a visitor center, cabins, picnic areas, and a marina with boat rentals.
