Howdy!

My wife and I spent a week at Degray last October...and we really enjoyed it!

We saw multitudes of deer along the park roads in the evenings which was pretty cool and the boat tour was also nice!


Degray is right at 20 minutes from Hot Springs, so we planned a half day tour again of the Hot Spring sites!

All in all, Degray proved worth the trip.

We stay in State Parks as often as possible, in several states, and have always been pleased at the pleasant, courteous, and ever helpful park employees! Most park facilities are getting a little old due to the cut backs within the P&W departments, but they are always clean and safe!

If you live in Texarkana, you might also think about a future trip to Lake Catherine State Park...we loved the camping spots right on the water. (some within just a few feet, lol) The mountains made the lake pituresque and the steam coming off the water every morning was very pretty! Catherine is also about 15-20 minutes from Hot Springs!

Have a great trip!

Funny how that works out some times, lol! Here is a link to the park...the pictures do not do the park justice!!!

The three parks form a rough triangle and are actually on the same river!
