About Lake Greeson

Located in the foothills of the Quachita Mountains, Lake Greeson is surrounded by the Little Missouri River and Daisy State Park, which makes for a perfect combination for fishing, camping, hiking, swimming or just relaxing with the family. Lake Greeson boasts 7,000 acres of clear water and mountain scenery for that perfect outing. Black and white bass, stripers, crappie, catfish, and bluegill account for the lake's popularity with anglers.

The Little Missouri and four other float streams in the area offer spring and early summer trout fishing.
