Bismarck
is a small unincorporated community located in central Arkansas between Hot Springs and Caddo Valley. It lies along State Highway 7 and Highway 84. Bismarck has two restaurants, three gas stations, two banks, a post office, a laundromat and two markets. A few other stores are also located in the town, including antique stores and a flower shop. Bismarck is most known for being near DeGray Lake, which is a popular camping area/tourist spot. DeGray Lake is a reservoir on the Caddo River that offers lots of recreational opportunities along with spectacular views. Arkansas Scenic Byway 7 is located on the eastern shore of the lake. DeGray Lake Resort State Park was opened in 1974 to encourage tourism and recreation on DeGray Lake. DeGray dam impounds the waters of the Caddo River to form a flood control lake that covers 13,400 acres and a shoreline of 207 miles. Many long-time residents of the area recall family members who were bought out in order to fill area behind the dam. The eventual damming of the Caddo River forced many people to move elsewhere from the area. Brick and concrete structures from former homesteads still stand on the bottom of the DeGray Lake. Things to do at the lake include swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, picnicking and camping.
