CEDAR LAKE VISTA - OVERLOOK

Cedar Lake is nestled between the ridges in the foreground. Cedar Lake was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the early 1930s. This was one of many projects completed in Oklahoma by this federal work program. Between 1933 and 1942, 7,600 men from the state of Oklahoma and 75,000 men from Arkansas were enrolled in this program. Many of the original structures built at Cedar Lake still serve the public today such as a bathhouse and two picnic shelters.

Cedar Lake Recreation Area includes camping, picnicking, swimming, fishing and hiking facilities which are managed by the Forest Service/Hook-ups for recreation vehicles and equestrian camping facilities are among the newest additions to the recreation area. Forty-four miles of horse trails give visiting equestrians a great opportunity to explore the Ouachita Mountains.
