Lake Fort Smith State Park reopened in 2008 after the dam was enlarged and the old park flooded, and it now offers 30 campsites, 10 cabins and group lodging beside the lake. It lies in the Boston Mountains on the road between Fayetteville and Fort Smith. A good low-key stop for walking and fishing.
