Eagle Watch Tours out of the Lake
Ouachita State Park
start in November and last thru April.
Bald Eagles (and occasionally
Golden Eagles) leave their homes in
the north for the warmer winter waters of Lake Ouachita in Arkansas.
The best way to view these spectacular eagles is to book passage aboard a winter eagle watch cruise out of the Lake Ouachita State Park. View these majestic eagles and other wintering waterfowl including Loons in the wild.
Lake Ouachita State Park uses a covered barge that cruises the shoreline of Lake Ouachita watching for the
Eagles.
To improve your chance of
getting a good view of the eagles, bring along a good pair
of binoculars and camera with a telephoto lens.
Eagle
Tours on Lake Ouachita last about 1½ hours and are offered on Saturdays and Sundays at 3 pm
