An Odd Little Place

We’re moving a bit south for a few weeks to try to stay warm until Christmas.

We’re now at Moro Bay State Park about a hundred miles south of Hot Springs and still on the Ouachita River. The park lies between Moro Bay to the west and Raymond Lake to the east and there is only a small bit that’s along the river where those two bodies of water join it.

There are just 23 campsites and today…

we are the only campers here; a perk of winter camping.

Small though it is, it has a couple of nice little trails…

and its own herd of deer that are not at all shy.

It also has the old ferry that used to cross the river here.

There is evidence that the water here is not always well behaved. Notice how far up along the old ferry approach the tie off rings go.

These cabins sit well above the water, but they are still up on stilts.

And the pilings anchoring the floating marina are certainly ready for much deeper water.

This is a pretty and tranquil place now, I wonder what it’s like when the river is in flood.
