Site details

A Little Red River reservoir in north-central Arkansas ranked among the cleanest and clearest lakes in the country. When the dam was completed in the early 1960s the town of Higden was relocated, and submerged homes, building foundations and roadbeds remain popular dive targets, along with island walls and rock structure mapped by the regional dive community. Diving is staged from Corps recreation areas such as Dam Site and Sugar Loaf.
