Blue Mountain Lake is located in the shadow of Mt. Magazine, Arkansas' highest mountain. Blue Mountain Lake has offered many recreational opportunities since its completion in 1947. Modern campgrounds (Waveland and Outlet Parks) provide tent and trailer spaces, electrical and water hookups, showers, boat launching ramps, parking areas, fish cleaning stations, and many other amenities. The excellent fishery in the lake includes largemouth and white bass, crappie, bream, and catfish. Other water sports such as water skiing, swimming, and boating are also very popular activities.
