Arkansas lakes

Temperatures are cooling off and now is the perfect time for a chili cookoff on beautiful Lake Greeson in Arkansas.

When it comes to lakes in Arkansas there are more than 2, 400 named lakes and reservoirs larger than 5 acres in total that cover over 600,000 acres. That's a lot of lakes considering the size of the state of Arkansas.

Summer is lake time and it's definitely fishing time too. You hear people say they 'caught the big one' or 'almost caught the big one' and the fish in the story gets bigger and bigger every time the story is told. Well, a brother and sister in Arkansas really did catch the big one...each.

Arkansas has beautiful lakes. But what lurks underneath way down at the bottom of one Arkansas lake there is something that will surprise you and at the same time touch your heart.

Lakes in Texas and in other states are getting infested with these creepy-looking things. They attach themselves to boats and hitch a ride to infest other lakes.  But what are they and how do you stop them?

The official start to the summer season begins this Memorial holiday weekend. As more and more state parks and recreational areas continue to lift their restrictions many Americans are ready for some fresh air and some outdoor family fun.
