Natural State Snapshot

June 20-26, 2016

This past week, I visited a place that I had never been to before, and it was just beautiful! Cane Creek State Park offers two of Arkansas’s distinct natural settings in one visit. Hike, run or bike the park’s 2,171 acres of woodland areas in the Coastal Plain. Paddle or fish on 1,675-acre Cane Creek Lake, a timbered Delta lake, and experience the natural beauty and abundant wildlife that inhabit Arkansas’s Mississippi Delta. Just across the timber-filled lake, anglers and paddlers can also explore Bayou Bartholomew, the world’s longest bayou. Also, you will find probably the largest Lily Pads in the state. They are very “toad-worthy” and so beautiful! Cane Creek State Park is located in Lincoln County. From Star City, travel five miles east on Ark. 293.
