Nestled among rugged, wooded mountains in the northeast corner of the Ouachita National Forest is Lake Sylvia Recreation Area. The serene 18-acre lake is noted for its swimming and fishing opportunities only 38 miles west of Little Rock. A trail system offers visitors opportunities to hike, enjoy an easy nature walk, go on a challenging trail run, or connect with the 223-mile Ouachita National Recreation Trail for an overnight backpacking experience under the stars. Miles of unpaved roads offer adventures for "gravel grind" cyclists. This site is an annex unit managed by Pinnacle Mountain State Park.
