Above the Lake Village Welcome Center<\/strong><\/h4>\n

While travelling thru South Arkansas you may find yourself at The Lake Village Welcome Center<\/a><\/strong> where you could pick up free copies of\u00a0Arkansas Highway Maps, along with information about Arkansas Tourist Attractions and Arkansas’ own\u00a0Westrock Coffee<\/a><\/strong>, restrooms, and water fountains.<\/p>\n

The Lake Village Welcome Center sits at the state lines for Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana. Lake Chicot, Arkansas’ largest natural lake stretching 3\/4 miles wide and 21\u201322 miles long from end to end, forming a traditional “C” shape.<\/p>\n

According to legend, Spanish explorer\u00a0Hernando De Soto\u00a0is buried in Lake Chicot. He died in 1542 during his expedition through the Southeast of North America.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0operates\u00a0Lake Chicot State Park\u00a0on the northern end of the lake. At the state park visitors’ center, there are cabins for rent and camping spots. There is also a wildlife museum, featuring creatures found in and around Lake Chicot.<\/p>\n
