Other things to note
Place for kids.

This is our lake home. It is fully stocked. It isn't the bare minimums of some places. We have worked hard to make this the kind of place we want to spend time, and I admit that I'm a bit of kid at heart. So, I have put everything I can in here to make sure my 9 year old daughter and 12 year old son love coming to the lake, even on a rainy day. In fact, my son asked to have his birthday party at the lake and bring a string of friends.

Birding.

In addition, the lake has made us amateur birders. There are bald eagles that live on the lake. Kayaking out into the lake and watching a bald eagle scoop up a fish will make you into a birder too. We have seen great horned owls that live on the island. We watched a pair of osprey raise two babies this year in a nest just 4 feet off the water. White pelicans and double crested cormorants arrive in late October for the winter. To me it is magical to watch a pelican scoop up a shad and see the fish wriggle in the pelican's waddle; I promise it looks like the pelican smiles when you see this happen. Pileatead woodpeckers are common. Birding books and binoculars are provided in the house.

Astronomy.

The night sky over the lake, which is surrounded by the Ouachita National Forest is special. It is quite dark. My kids and I have sat on the dock and watched the international space station fly over head many times. Shooting stars are quite plentiful when you have a dark sky.

Perryville is home to this vacation home. Conway Marketplace and Covington Crown Plaza are worth checking out if shopping is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Ouachita National Forest and Arkansas River. Traveling with kids? Consider P. Allen Smith Garden Home at Moss Mountain Farm, or check out an event or a game at Estes Stadium.
