Lake Ouachita Geo Float Trail

 

The Geo float trail was the first water-based interpretive
 trail included in the 
National Trails System.

The Geo float trail was a project of the
US Army Corps of Engineers,
the
Arkansas Geological Commission, and the US Geological Survey.  

Lake Ouachita Geo-Float Trail guides boaters around Lake Ouachita, highlighting and describing many geological formations unique to the area.

The trail is a 16 mile trip with twelve exploration areas from the Spillway Recreation Area to Brady Mountain Recreation Area, and will take about 1 1/2 hours to complete depending on your speed and the time you spend at each stop.

Boat rental can be arranged with Spillway Resort at 501-767-2997. To set up an appointment with the Corps of Engineers, contact Rick Dwyer at 501-767-2108.

The Geo-Float Trail calls attention to the special beauty of the area and gives visitors
an increased understanding of the formation of the Ouachita Mountains. You can get the free Self Guided Float Trip map from the the Spillway or Brady Landing on Lake Ouachita, or the local Corps of Engineers, and you will be set to follow the yellow marker buoys around Lake Ouachita.

For group tours of 15 or more (must be a bonafide interested group, not a family reunion),
when you provide the boat, the Corps of Engineers will provide a ranger to accompany the trip and explain the lake features.

Lake Ouachita is located 13 miles northwest of Hot Springs, in the heart of the Ouachita Mountains.

The lake and adjacent land areas are managed by the Corps.
