History of the Area
Located in northeast Arkansas, the park was established in 1973. It's named after a local landowner, D.B Frierson. The area covers approximately 335 acres and features Lake Frierson - a man-made reservoir created by damming the Big Running Water Creek.

The lake itself is around 335-acres large and serves as an important recreational site for fishing enthusiasts due to its diverse fish population including catfish, bream, crappie among others.

In addition to water activities like boating or kayaking that are facilitated here; it also offers picnic spots with grills along with camping facilities equipped with modern amenities.

Over time this place has become popular amongst bird watchers too because of various species found there such as bald eagles during winter months.
