We’re still in Hot Springs, but now just southeast of the city at Lake Catherine State Park.
Matey and I did our initial reconnaissance yesterday and I realized this may be my favorite campground in the area. Gulpha Gorge has a great location and I love the trails up over the mountain but Lake Catherine has nice sites with plenty of room.
Most of the sites are close to the lake,
which is pretty even when they lower the water level for the winter.
The fall colors are nice here and it is easy to walk a mile wandering through the campsites.
There are some easy trails for Matey. This morning we took the Falls Trail and came across this great blue heron surveying the lake from the trail.
There’s not much water now but this is still a pretty scene.
Not a bad place to call home.

Very pretty! If they have lowered the lake level for winter, does that mean the lake is formed by a dam in a river there?

I went on my map program and found the dam. I could see it in a photo from above, too.
