Cranfield Park

Cranfield Park is a place that’s surrounded by the Norfork Lake’s clear waters. This park offers a lot of outstanding views that most parks don’t have, including the island sites near the river that surrounds this park! The Norfork Lake is known to have coves that are excellent not just for swimming, but for other boat activities and water sports as well. 

The park measures 22,000 acres and 550 miles for its shoreline. It is covered with a lot of wooded hills which guarantees a breathtaking overview of the lake that surrounds Ozark Mountains. The park contains a vast parking space at the Western area, as well as a few spaces for parking RVs and camping at a separate section in the East. The rest of this park is surrounded by lake water, which is why many love to do water-based recreational activities here.

The Cranfield Park has hiking trails that provide guests and photographers a clear view of the whole park and the Ozark mountains. This trail measures 75 miles - making it a challenge for some explorers. The lake in the park is also home to game fish such as crappies, bream, catfish, bass, and walleyes. Generally, the park is child and pet-friendly. The park also has an amphitheater for various events, playgrounds for the kids, a marina for parking your boats, and more amenities for a comfortable means to stay in this park. 

If you wish to take a break by relaxing at such a magnificent lake, then going to Cranfield Park is the best choice in Arkansas due to the clear water that it provides, as well as a vast body of water that’s worth taking pictures upon you visit. This spot asks that you keep your furry friend leashed at all times, and that you refrain from taking them to the designated swim areas.
