The Great OUTDOORS

Columbia County showcases beauty of the Natural State
NESTLED IN the gentle scenery of South
Arkansas, Magnolia and Columbia County showcase
their thriving environment through breath-taking
sunsets and generous fishing areas. The county
offers a number of ways to enjoy the beauty of the
Natural State, including Lake Columbia and Logoly
State Park.
Lake Columbia is a 3,000-acre recreational haven
stretching for six miles along Beech Creek, about six
miles northwest of Magnolia. It offers area visitors
plenty of room for fishing and boating. Constructed
in the mid-1980s by the Arkansas Game and Fish
Commission, this lake offers several amenities to
visitors, including three concrete boat ramps and
several fishing piers.

Logoly State Park, Arkansas' first environmental
education state park, provides a living laboratory
for students and visitors to learn about unique
plant species and 11 natural springs with medicinal
waters. The 370-acre park is one of only three
environmental education parks in the country and
includes six group tent sites, bathhouse, pavilion,
picnic area, playground and multiple trails.
Magnolia also offers four public parks and a
pocket park near the downtown area, a splash pad,
walking and jogging tracks, Southern Arkansas
University rodeo arena, Boys and Girls Club, and
lighted softball and baseball fields. The region
provides safe, fun areas for visitors and residents to
enjoy the beautiful scenery throughout the year. 
