That dam and park are one of my favorites. I wish they took better care of the bathrooms and camping areas. Toad Suck is really well cared for, I wish they would do the same at Morrilton. Great video y'all! Loved it. I did a Dam tour years ago as a kid. Can't remember which but it was awesome.
@@WholeOtherLevelOutdoors I have never camped at that campground but we camp at toads up quite a bit. Toad suck is very well kept and I think it has a lot to do with the camp hosts. Unfortunately, this summer was their last. They have retired. I hope the new hosts are just as good.
We enjoy your videos!! Trying to find info on Sequoyah Park, across from this lock and dam, we’ve been to Cherokee COE Park just out of Morrelton but couldn’t find Sequoyah Park.
You know what, I'm glad you mentioned that. I've been researching it further and I think that is Cherokee. I was told it's Sequoyah but I can't find it online either. All my maps are telling me it's Cherokee. When you camped at Cherokee, did you have a view of the lock and dam?
@@AllAboutArkansasTravels We were just checking out the campground and could see the lock and dam right across the river. We are retired and try to camp as often as possible, especially if the campground is on a river within a lock and dam. Thank you so much for replying back, God bless!
I could have watched this video by now, but I'm near the end of this eclipse/beach/jury duty trip that's consumed most of April, and my brain's all tired and sweaty. I've had the video paused on that opening scene, just staring at it in between other tasks. It's so pretty.
@@AllAboutArkansasTravels On the road for 4 years and a month so far. Trying to decide whether to head back to Arkansas to look at properties now, or head back to New Mexico, save up some more money, and go house hunting in the fall. Good pan on that opening scene. I still can't do pans very well. The speed always seems to be either too fast or too slow.
cool video the wife an i go there to fish behind the dam we live here in heber springs an fish mostly at toad suck o hay could you do a video of our dam here at greers ferry lake we been watching your video's thanks for showing our beautiful state.
Thank you for watching! I've been invited to film a tour of the Greers Ferry Dam possibly this summer. I have always wanted to go down inside it. If I get the chance, I will film everything and let you know!
@@AllAboutArkansasTravels You're getting invited to do shoots now? That's pretty cool! I think you're going to end up with a TV show eventually. Remember us little people when you pick up your first Emmy. :)
Not the big barges or big locks. I did see video of a canal boat going through a manually operated lock in the UK. The doors at each end have big levers you have to get out and move to open or close the lock.
@@amylessig7223 If you go to the Big Dam Bridge (Murray Lock and Dam) in North Little Rock, you can stand on the bridge over the lock and really get a bird's eye view. We like to wave at them as they go under the bridge. 😁 We're easily amused 😅
I've seen way too many barges go thru the locks, but I've also been operating these locks for several years lol, Awesome video thou and yes Jay is a super nice guy and does an awesome job as public affairs....
Great video Lindsey. I am proud of your work. Hoover & Mary
Thank you so much! I was hoping you might watch this! I learned so much about USACE that I never knew.

@@teresahouston2231 Have you stayed at Toad Suck yet? It's one of my favorites!

You're still in the road?! That's awesome!! That opening scene is the view from Stout's Point at Petit Jean State Park

Excellent work. I learned a lot from this. Lake Dardanelle is part of the Arkansas River lots of folks don’t know that. Keep up the great work
You are exactly right! Thank you for watching!

Have you ever watched the barges go through the locks?

Yes it my favorite thing to do. I live in Oklahoma. lived by the Arkansas river, loved watching the towboats and barges come in and out if the locks
