    Love this area. I would say this trail is easy to moderate. There is about three different or four different trails, beautiful scenery well taken care of and very quiet. There is a small sign at the entrance, but it is across the street so if you're not looking for it, it's hard to find but I would definitely recommend.

    Take some bug spray. It's a beautiful walk. Very cool dam. It's a bit hard to find but worth it.

    Dam Site River - Sunset paddle on the lake

Water is so clear. Enjoyed paddling and views of sunset and sunrise were stunning. Short ride to Eureka Springs where we hopped on and off the trolley and Thorncrown Chapel is a short drive as well. Best COE bathhouse so far for us. However, the push button shower was a little strange and took some getting used to.

    Good campground. We had site 51 and it was probably the best one in the campground - very wooded,…read morespacious and private. The bathrooms were clean, bright, spacious, had a private shower, and flush toilets. I would NOT book the campsites that did not back to the river (they are sandwiched between two (minor) roads and had little room. We did not drive to "area 2" which was sites 1-37, but they appeared to be wooded at the bottom of the dam. We stayed in "area 1" which is campsites 38-59, and is almost impossible to find if you arrive after hours (it's another exit off of 187, and is labeled Parker Bottoms) - the signage at this site is very lacking. All in all, a wooded, beautiful campground. We saw armadillos, raccoons, great blue herons, and fish! FYI, there is also a different campground named Dam Site Lake, and it's on a peninsula in the middle of the lake. It offered no trees and looked hot and barren. Due to the lack of signage, we drove around this one for a while, looking for our site (argh!). Dam site lake would be good for a large college group who wants lots of sun and to be right on the water (and who don't care about privacy).

He is really knowledgeable about the area and very passionate about fly fishing, and he wants everyone he takes out to love it as well. He is also very good at his craft -- we watched him pull in 5 trout in 3 minutes at the end of our trip (watching this was almost as fun as the fishing itself). Thanks so much for making a great trip for us, Erik!

    I grew up coming to Spider Creek Resort in the early 1980s all the way through the late 1990s and…read morehad not been back in around 25 years. Sadly, the loving care that was once evident everywhere is no longer there. The cabins are in serious need of maintenance. I called a few times prior to finally booking online because I couldn't catch anyone on the phone. Our keys were pinned to a corkboard at the office when we arrived around 3:25 pm. When we checked out the next morning at 8:36, there was also no one in the office, although a housekeeping(?) vehicle drove past us to the cabin. It was a very impersonal experience and not at all what I experienced as a child and also when I returned with my own young children years ago. I did text and call Kelly as I would have preferred to give this feedback in person, as well as settle my account. No shampoo or body wash in the bathrooms, but there were some soap bars. Bring a hair dryer - there isn't one. Pro tip: We didn't think there was a bath mat, but it was folded under the tissue holder on the back of the toilet. Water was hot and the pressure was decent. Our cabin (no 2) had gray hairs on one of the pillowcases and the sheets had multiple tiny holes. There was a streak of black on the ceiling of our cabin above the bed that might have been mold but honestly am not sure. The expensive tv ads that run in the DFW and OKC market could be better spent on Thompson's water seal for the exteriors and refreshing the ancient carpet and sheets/beds. That said, if you think of it as a glamping experience it might not be so bad. Sadly, this will most likely be our last visit here. Giving it two stars for the creek and river views.

The river is 45 degrees so not swimmable for me, but the lake is a 3 minute drive away and it's a nice place to spend the day. The water is sulphuric so I recommend you bring some bottled water for drinking/cooking. Also, bring bug spray because the skeeters and flies will eat you alive! you get a free river float trip if you stay at least 3 nights. Not far from eureka springs either if you're a shopper!
