Lake Village Arkansas is appropriately named for nearby 5300 acre Lake Chicot, formed from the Mississippi River. Lake Chicot is North America’s largest oxbow lake, and the largest natural lake in Arkansas.  Oxbow lakes are named because they’re U-shaped.  Lake Chico State Park is of distinct historic interest, considering that the remains of DeSoto are reported to rest beneath its surface.  It’s educational and fun for this pet-friendly and kid-friendly family vacation experience in Lake Village Arkansas.
