Here you will find resort amenities combined with plenty of outdoor fun. DeGray offers a 96-room lodge and convention center, camping (113 sites including Premium D, Preferred B, Standard B and Rent-A-Yurt), swimming, tennis, golf, hiking, bicycling and guided horseback trail rides. The park's full-service marina (open year-round) offers tackle, dock space, fuel and a variety of boat rentals.
DeGray's lodge and convention center offers sweeping views of DeGray Lake from its unique island setting. Amenities include a swimming pool, hot tub and fitness room. DeGray Lodge's Shoreline Restaurant offers a full menu plus banquet catering services. The lodge also features a business center, meeting rooms and 350-seat convention center that are perfect for meetings, retreats and family reunions. Custom-fit meetings are DeGray Lake Resort State Park Lodge's specialty. Group Rates/Package Plans are available.
DeGray's 18-hole, public PGA championship-rated golf course (7,200 yards) includes a driving range and practice range. The Pro Shop offers refreshments, cart and club rentals, golf equipment and golf apparel for sale.
Swim beaches, boat launches, pavilions, trails, bicycle rentals, a store, tennis court, basketball court and coin laundry round out DeGray's offerings.
Park interpreters lead sunset cruises snorkeling trips on the lake and guided hikes along park trails and the shoreline, a popular place to view the lake's abundant birdlife. Outdoor workshops and a variety of special events are hosted in the park throughout the year. Each January, the popular "Eagles Et Cetera" weekend celebrates the migration of American bald eagles to DeGray Lake. |

A great state park
Wow, no matter what part of the year, this a terrific park to visit. Winter and Fall you can see bald eagles everywhere (well, almost). Summer is a watersport haven, In fact, the wife and I are on our way to the lake now to swim and cook dogs.

| Trails: |
| SLAND TRAIL : Length: 1 mile : Time: 1 1/2 hours : Difficulty: Easy
Description: The trail begins near the front entrance of the lodge. The first 75 - 100 yards lead to a road crossing, then the trail splits into a loop which circles back to the beginning. Hardwoods predominate the forest canopy. The trail is located 50 - 60 feet from the lakeshore and provides the opportunity for solitude and scenic beauty.
Location: Exit No. 78 off I-30 at Caddo Valley, then 7 miles north on Hwy. 7
TOWERING PINES TRAIL : Length: 1/2 mile : Time: 3/4 hour : Difficulty: Easy - Moderate Description: This loop trail meanders through the mixed pine and hardwood forest to the lakeshore and returns to its point of origin. It is particularly spectacular in the spring as it displays an abundance of dogwood trees.
Location: Exit No. 78 off I-30 at Caddo Valley, then 7 miles north on Hwy. 7 |
