Weather at Arlie Moore

Best Time to Camp at Arlie Moore

Best season: fall. Fall offers the most comfortable weather and the most dramatic scenery — expect crisp mornings in the 45–60°F range and pleasant daytime highs around 60–75°F, ideal for full-day hikes and lakeside relaxation. October and November bring peak foliage across the Ouachita foothills and clearer, cooler water for fishing and boating, while bugs and humidity drop off. Crowds are generally moderate (weekends busiest), so midweek visits reward quieter trails and campsites. Peak months: October, September, May, November Avoid: December, January, February, March

Elevation420 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryDeGray Lake's crystalline water reflects the weathered slopes of the Ouachita Mountains, a range formed over millions of years. The campground's elevation sits at 420 feet, with dense tree cover providing shade across most sites. White-tailed deer graze near campsites at dawn, and squirrels and songbirds are common throughout the day. The lake's clarity makes it popular for swimming and fishing, and a small beach area offers direct water access.
