Interpreters at DeGray Lake Resort State Park offer snorkeling programs during the summer. The park is located about eight miles north of Arkadelphia on 13,800-acre DeGray Lake, formed when the Caddo River was dammed in 1972. Located on an island and reached by a short causeway, the park’s 96-room lodge features a spa, swimming pool, well-equipped exercise room, convention facilities and a full-service restaurant. Other park facilities include a challenging 7,200-yard golf course with pro shop, a riding stable, campgrounds and hiking trails. Visitors can avail themselves of rental watercraft at the park marina to take advantage of the lake’s fishing or can launch for free their own craft. Water-skiing, sailing, jet-skiing and pleasure boating are other popular DeGray activities. Also located on the lake are a private resort and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recreational areas, most of which have campsites.
