Lake Dardanelle State Park

About Lake Dardanelle State Park

Surrounded by the Arkansas River Valley, known for its natural beauty, Dardanelle Lake is surrounded by two water resources that put the area in the national spotlight during major perch tournaments.

Lake Dardsenelle State Park offers a variety of activities including fishing, kayaking, canoeing, boating, hiking, camping and fishing.

The Russellville location has also had a big impact on the success of the Perch Strike tournament in Arkansas over the past two years. Lake Dardanelle is overlooked by a bank on the River, the largest river in Arkansas and the second largest in North America, the National Park Service said.

The 1,861 square meter pavilion is the first of its kind in the nation to be equipped for a tournament and features an indoor and outdoor water exhibition center, a water slide, an outdoor swimming pool and a picnic area. The Lullabies are a 1.5 hectare, 1 mile long, 2 feet wide and 3 meters deep water feature that offers views of Lake Dardanelle, the river and the lake itself. It has four aquariums that hold fish that are only found in Arkansas and other parts of the United States, as well as other fish species.

The main park also includes hiking trails and kayaks and bicycles can be rented here, as well as kayaks, canoes, kayaks and other means of transport.

A privately run marina and boat moorings are located in the Russellville - Dardanelle area. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities such as kayaking, canoeing, fishing, boating, kayaking and canoeing.

Note: All are welcome to enjoy these programs, but please note that they are only available to visitors with valid state authorization.

There is a self-guided meadow stream trail and a self-guided trail at Lake Dardanelle. Both routes start and end at the amphitheater, but the Russellville location is in stark contrast to the shores of Lake Dardah. The trail starts and ends at an amphitheatre, and along the way there are a number of picnic areas as well as a picnic area on the shore.

The large aquarium exhibition center houses four aquariums that keep fish in the lake, the Arkansas River and Illinois Bayou. The 1,861 square foot pavilion houses the Lake Dardanelle State Park Baseball and Softball Center, which features a state-of-the-art basketball court unique in our nation and hosting a tournament. It is the cradle of the pavilions and offers great views of Lake Dardah as well as the river and lake shores.
