Blue Mountain Lake In Winter Stock Image

Blue Mountain Lake is located in the shadow of Mt. Magazine, Arkansas`s highest mountain. Blue Mountain Lake has offered many recreational opportunities since its completion in 1947. Modern campgrounds provide tent and trailer spaces, electrical and water hookups, showers, boat launching ramps, parking areas, fish cleaning stations, and many other amenities. The excellent fishery in the lake includes largemouth and white bass, crappie, bream, and catfish. Other water sports, such as water skiing, swimming, and boating are also very popular activities. A shady, cypress tree-lined swimming area in Waveland Park provides a relaxing respite from a busy day at the lake. The Blue Mountain Wildlife Demonstration Area is located on the west end of the lake property. It is a world class bird dog field trial area that attracts visitors from throughout the United States and several other countries. The abundant public forests around the lake are open to in-season hunting, hiking, birding, sightseeing, and other outdoor activities.
