About this park:
A half-hour from Jonesboro and about 1.5 hours from Memphis, Lake Charles State Park is a peaceful place located on a 645-acre lake filled with bass, crappie, bream, and catfish. In fact, it’s the place where the largest number of 20-inch bass have been caught in Northeast Arkansas. A full line of bait and tackle is available at the visitor center from March through October. There are 60 campsites, a third of which are Class AAA, with many spots right on the water. A YURT offers an additional lodging option. The park is also a great getaway in fall and winter months with four hiking trails.Arkansas State Parks list:

Hiking times may vary.This 1.5 mile loop trail meanders across intermittent streams and along the lake shoreline. Wear sturdy shoes and carry drinking water in warm weather.

Current Yelp Review: Incredible burger and fries. The burger is a hand made patty cooked up fresh when you order it. Perfectly soft bun and wonderfully fresh ingredients. Fries were piping hot. Ambiance is 10/10 comfy and cozy. Everyone was kind and helpful even to someone passing through. If you're passing through go here! - AR State Parks: LOCATIONBass Pro Pyramid (North Parking Lot), Memphis, TN
