Located where the rolling terrain of the West Gulf Coastal Plain and the alluvial lands of east Arkansas's Mississippi Delta meet, this park offers you the opportunity to explore two of Arkansas's distinct natural settings in one visit. Hike or bike the park's 2,053 acres of woodlands in the Coastal Plain. Paddle or fish on 1,675-acre Cane Creek Lake, a timbered Delta lake, and experience the lush beauty and abundant wildlife that inhabit Arkansas's Mississippi Delta. Just across the timber-filled lake, anglers and paddlers can also explore Bayou Bartholomew, the world's longest bayou.

History of the Area
Located in Lincoln County, Arkansas, the park was established in 1973. It spans over 2,053 acres and includes a lake.

The area is known for its diverse ecosystem of delta lowlands and west gulf coastal plains. The two regions meet within the park boundaries creating an intersection of distinct natural environments.

In addition to outdoor activities such as hiking or fishing on Cane Creek Lake's waters, it also offers educational programs about local wildlife conservation efforts since establishment.

Over time this location has become popular among bird watchers due to unique species found there like Red-cockaded Woodpecker.

The campground at Cane Creek features 29 campsites (Class B) and one Rent-An-RV, and a modern bathhouse with hot showers.
