I’m not sure exactly what Lake Sylvia is. It shows up on the Arkansas State Parks web site and the state park logo is on the signs, but it isn’t a state park and it isn’t in the passport. It’s within Ouachita National Forest, and most of the signage is about the national forests. Still, in the interest of completeness, I decided to go. Actually, go back. I’ve been there a couple times before. There’s rarely very many people around, and today there wasn’t anybody. Even the campsite was empty. I walked the trail around the lake to the dam, birding as I went.
