Discover the Serene Beauty of DeQueen Lake

Getting There

• Car

  Start by heading southeast on Main St toward E Broadway St in Cross Timbers. Continue on Main St until it merges into Highway 37. Follow Highway 37 for approximately 10 miles. You will then merge onto US-71 N toward Fort Smith. After about 20 miles, take the exit toward AR-32 E. Continue on AR-32 E for about 5 miles, then turn left onto AR-27 N. Follow AR-27 N for about 3 miles until you reach the signs for DeQueen Lake, which will be on your right.

• Public Transportation

  There are limited public transportation options available in Cross Timbers. If you are staying in a hotel, check if they offer a shuttle service to DeQueen Lake. Alternatively, you can take a bus from Cross Timbers to a nearby larger town (such as Mena, AR), and then arrange for a taxi or rideshare service to DeQueen Lake. Make sure to check the bus schedules in advance as they may not run frequently.

• Bicycle

  For the more adventurous type, you could consider biking to DeQueen Lake. Start from the center of Cross Timbers and follow Main St to Highway 37. From there, take the same route as if you were driving: follow Highway 37 to US-71 N, and then take the exit toward AR-32 E. Biking can be challenging, so make sure to wear a helmet and follow all traffic rules. It's approximately 35 miles one way, so plan for a full day of cycling.
