Lake Chicot

The Mississippi Delta's natural beauty and numerous outdoor adventure opportunities draw visitors to Lake Chicot 8 miles northeast of Lake Village on AK HWY 144. The 16-mile long lake is Arkansas' largest natural lake, and is a perfect site for Arkansas fishing and Arkansas boating. Anglers cast for crappie, bass and bream in Lake Chicot, particularly on the upper end during the spring and fall, while fishing for catfish is outstanding year-round.

The marina at Lake Chicot provides boats for rent, fuel, bait and a launch ramp. Those interested in the area's history and natural resources can check out the exhibits and programs at the Visitor Center.

Lake Chicot features a park nestled in a large pecan grove, that offers camping, fully-equipped cabins with kitchens, patios and pools in the summer only, as well as areas for picnicking, pavilions, and playgrounds.

The park is situated within the Mississippi Flyway, and offers incredible bird watching opportunities. Every fall the park provides tours of the lake and levee and programs for viewing rare storks, ibis, egrets and ducks.
