Shores Lake Recreation Area offers an 82-acre lake with a fully accessible bathroom facility with ramps. The fishing piers were designed with wheelchair use in mind. Underwater structures were built to attract fish to the fishing piers. The pavilion is also fully accessible and is available by reservation. Construction of the dam at Shores Lake began in the 1930s by men in a nearby Civilian Conservation Corps camp. The dam was completed in 1958. A cooperative effort between the USDA Forest Service and the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission helped complete the structure. Shores Lake Loop Trail is a showcase of upland hardwoods and shortleaf pine groves. The trail treats hikers to views of waterfalls and wildlife. 18 campsites and 28 family picnicking units. Pavilion for group picnicking by reservation only. Camping trailers allowed, no hook-ups or dumpsite available. Electric sites have 110 outlet & 30 amp outlet access. Due to remote location of campground, water and electricity may be temporarily unavailable during inclement weather or other emergency situations. At the back side of the Campground, there is a parking lot for access to Shores Lake Loop trails which connect to White Rock Recreation Area, rim trail and the Ozark Highland Trail.
