Planning Tips

    About Ste Marie Park

    Nestled where Lake Langhofer meets the Arkansas River at Pool 3 Lock and Dam, Sainte Marie Park offers a perfect riverside retreat for anglers, boaters, and nature lovers. This forested sanctuary features everything from fishing and courtesy docks to hiking trails and two reservable group shelters, all set against a backdrop of rolling cotton fields that stretch toward the horizon.
    The provided information describes day-use and group picnic facilities and general recreational uses of the park. Specific campsite types and overnight accommodation categories are not stated.

Early mornings and evenings offer the most comfortable times for outdoor activities during the peak of summer.
    ElevationPerched at 193 feet above sea level, the park sits in the gentle lowlands of the Arkansas River valley.
    Natural Features and SceneryAncient hardwoods shade the riverbank where Lake Langhofer's waters meet the steady flow of the Arkansas River, creating a rich ecosystem that thrives in the shadow of Pool 3 Lock and Dam. Beyond the tree line, the landscape opens to reveal the agricultural heartland—rolling cotton fields that shift from emerald to snowy white with the seasons. Red foxes occasionally dart through the underbrush at dawn and dusk, while the shoreline serves as a gathering place for waterfowl that migrate through or call these waters home. It's a place where working river meets wilderness, offering visitors a front-row seat to both natural rhythms and human industry.
    Geological RegionThis scenic stretch of the Arkansas River corridor showcases the region's characteristic bottomland hardwood forests meeting fertile agricultural plains, where the engineered Pool 3 Lock and Dam system has created Lake Langhofer's tranquil waters. The forested riverfront transitions seamlessly into the gently undulating cotton farmland that defines this corner of Arkansas, offering visitors a glimpse of both the state's natural waterways and its deep agricultural heritage.
