Among the Ouachita National Forest's most popular campgrounds are the Albert Pike Recreation Area on the Little Missouri River and the Shady Lake Recreation Area, located on a scenic 25-acre lake formed by a Civilian Conservation Corps dam constructed in the 1930s. Popular day-use spots include the Little Missouri Falls (pictured here) and the scenic Winding Stairs areas. The forest also provides several float camps for canoeists on the upper Ouachita River.
