Lake Ouachita Shores is one of the most beautifully located resorts on Lake Ouachita (Wash-i-ta) and is surrounded by the Ouachita National Forest. It is one of the cleanest lakes in the nation, over 30 miles long, and has a surface area of 40,000 acres. Excellent for fishing (many varieties), swimming, boating, diving, hiking and relaxing. We are only 25 miles (30 min.) from Hot Springs on Hwy 270 West and just 10 min. from Mount Ida, the “Quartz Crystal Capitol of the World.”
The best of both worlds come together at the Blue Bell where you can find real home-style meals, tasty sandwiches, or come in on a Friday for catfish, coleslaw, and hush puppies. There is something for everyone…Shop in the gift store area featuring great gifts and products from local artisans, or enjoy one of Blue Bell’s famous burgers and other good eats.
Join in the Saturday Night jam sessions from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Bring your guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, bass, harmonica, dobro or even that recorder you tried to learn how to play in band! Or just come and enjoy the great atmosphere and good company!
Opening statement: You just have to try the pie. It is award winning. So yes, there is food. But there are motel rooms and cabins with kitchenettes. And there is a full service marina and bountiful boat storage. Spectacular views of Lake Ouachita and the national forest. Jump on the LOViT trail right on the resort property. We have harnessed the natural beauty of the Natural State. Come…relax, replenish, rejuvenate.
We have your spot waiting. All that’s missing is you.
