Dierks Lake

Add to Trip Planner

Dierks is one of South Arkansas's tri-lakes, along with Gillham and DeQueen.

Dierks Lake was formed after the 1975 completion by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers of a dam across the Saline River in southwestern Arkansas. Located on the 1,360-acre lake are Corps of Engineers recreation areas offering more than 100 campsites, boat ramps and swimming areas.

The lake is best known among anglers for its largemouth bass, but fishing for crappie, bream and catfish is also good.
