DeQueen Lake

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed this impoundment along the Rolling Fork River, creating DeQueen Lake (also known as De Queen Lake) for flood control purposes in 1977. This crystal-clear reservoir also enjoys the company of anglers, boaters, water skiers, scuba divers, and campers along the lake's 32 miles of shoreline. This lake is one of what are known as South Arkansas's tri-lakes with Dierks and Gillham Lakes.

Fishing

This lake, like its sister lakes at Dierks and Gillham, provides a restful atmosphere for some exciting angling. Look for smallmouth, largemouth, and hybrid striped bass, black and white crappie, walleye, bream, and catfish. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission stock hybrid striped bass.
