Mid-South Canoe and Kayak Guide
| DESTINATIONS - Lake Poinsett State Park | ||
| Located on Crowleys Ridge, Lake Poinsett State Park is very different from the flat farm land around it. It makes a great place to camp on a paddling trip in East Arkansas because it is not terribly far from St. Francis Sunken Lands WMA or other destinations. The paddling here is nothing spectacular, but there is a good-sized lake. I was somewhat disappointed that there are houses around the lake, but it is nice for a late evening or early morning paddle while camping there. | ||
| Accomodations | ||
| The campground is primarily setup for RVs, but tent camping there is not bad. There are bathrooms and a shower or two. They are not the best I have seen, but they are better than primitive camping. There are a few restaurants in Harrisburg, a short drive away. | ||
| Location | ||
| Lake Poinsett is located a short drive down Hwy 163 south of Harrisburg, Arkansas. | ||
