BRADY MOUNTAIN Recreation Area

34°35’1.74″N 93°16’2.12″W

Just north of Camden Ark. the Ouachita River flooded the night before we got there and had to take a detour around and got back on our route near Sparkman and we had a sunny afternoon headed up through to Arkadelphia and on to Hot springs for Sunday night, At Walmart.

Brady Mountain is for sure a high location on the Ouachita Lake. No water or sewer hook ups at sites but had nice, dated showers and a dump station. Lots of high incline trails here. Spotted migrating Common Loon’ on the lake. We used this location to take a couple day trips into Hot Springs to see the Hot Spring! Bath House Row, Hot Springs Mountain Tower, West Mountain and discover we still are uncomfortable with the “Hurd Mentality” of people on vacation now days. Thank goodness it was during the week and cold and not on the weekend. Hot springs has a lot of charming old buildings and homes, reminds me very much of Eureka Springs.
