One Day Reopening: Lake Wedington

Lake Wedington in the Ozark National Forest near Siloam Springs and Fayetteville will reopen for one day for the first time since 2019 on Saturday, May 30, from 10a-7p.

The main parking lot, campgrounds, cabins, and recreation area have been closed since 2019, making this one-day reopening a rare chance to experience the space again.

Swimming is not yet approved pending water testing closer to the date, but kayaking and fishing are confirmed. Guests can bring their own gear or rent kayaks from Gypsy Camp & Canoe, and pack a picnic for the day.
