• Diamond Lakes Region
  The plethora of adventures await you and your family at the Hot Springs and Diamond lakes region of Arkansas, with more outdoor activities and recreational opportunities than just about anywhere else in the world. The five lakes that make up the Diamond Lakes are Lake Ouachita and Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Lake Catherine near Malvern, Lake Greeson by Glenwood and Murfreesboro and DeGray Lake at Arkadelphia. With over 70,000 acres of total water, and hundreds of miles of shoreline, the most magnificent views and vistas that greet your eyes will simply amaze, inspire and most often tranquilize your inner being. There is plenty of room to sail, swim, ski, float, rent a houseboat, fish, picnic, enjoy a party barge, or just relax in the serene sunshine in the clearest, cleanest waters in the world. The opportunities become endless, with tranquil streams wandering down the mountainside of Ouachita Mountain, and some of the best steam fishing in the world, with great spots for smallmouth bass and trout. But that isn't the only kind of fish that is possible to catch here, there are a number of bass, like striped, largemouth, hybrid, crappie, spotted bass, white bass, and more. The rainbow and brown trout are so exciting to catch, by fly or cast, and you can enjoy the freshest fish you ever took out of a frying pan. There is just about nothing as wonderful as sitting by a slow moving stream in the early hours of the morning, sun finally coming up to warm the chill of that morning air, and you cooking that first trout in a iron frying pan along with some fresh onions and potatoes. Not only is the fishing incredible and edible, but you can float down some of these lazy rivers on inner tubes or rafts, just laying on your back watching those fluffy white clouds float by.
