The Gray Springs Recreation Area is a picnic area with scenic views in
the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest of northwestern
Arkansas. It is located on
northern Franklin County, on Forest Road 1003, and includes a picnic
shelter, comfort facilities, an outdoor barbecue pit, and picnic tables.
The picnic area and Forest Road 1003 were built in 1934 by a crew from
the Civilian Conservation Corps, and were listed on the
National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
The road, which winds precariously around Black
Mountain, retains a number of surviving CCC-built features, including
bridge and many stone culverts.
(The area is in much need of repair.) |
