685+/- acres of timberland and recreational opportunity; commonly known as "The Haven," located in Garland County, Arkansas. The Ouachita panoramic mountain views offer crystal clear thermal springs and timberland of tall short-leaf pine and oak (Northern Red Oak, White Oak, and Blackjack Oak). A unique tapestry of mountains, drains, and creeks, this tract offers great natural resources for fishing, water sports, hunting, and hiking. The nearby Lake Ouachita is well-known for its prolific fishing opportunities; especially striped bass and large-mouth bass fishing. For hunting, Ouachita is the French spelling of the Indian word Washita, meaning "good hunting grounds."
During the Roaring Twenties Hot Springs, Arkansas, a remote town nestled in the middle of the Ouachita Mountains, became an organized crime haven; bootlegging business and other illegal ventures during the Prohibition era was well-known. The notorious gangster (Al Capone) would come to Hot Springs and purchase liquor for his Chicago clubs.
