In the 19th century, a city named Higden flourished where the lake now rests. The city suffered from frequent flooding and as a result a man-made lake was created for flood control of the area. Today, the city's remains sit below the lake, enticing scuba divers and archeologists alike. Recreation Whether a visitor prefers boating, water skiing, fishing, swimming or scuba diving, Greers Ferry Lake has it all. The river tributaries keep anglers entertained, as they produce some of the largest walleye in the world; the record breaker was a whopping 23 lbs. In spring, the countryside becomes a photographer's paradise with wildflowers, redbud and dogwood trees in full bloom. Facilities Choctaw Park offers 106 sites, 85 of which have electrical hookups. Campers can enjoy… Getting there: From Clinton, AR, take US 65 5 miles south to AR 330 then 3.5 miles east. Follow signs into campground.
