20th annual Ouachita Jeep Jamboree
Guests Shelle & Alberto traveled from Dallas to participate in the challenging Jeep Jamboree held outside of Hot Springs. With rocky vertical challenges, mud pits, water crossings, and various competitions, the Jamboree brought participants from around the U.S. At times, Shelle and Alberto found the rock challenges not only thrilling, but nail biting. With a jeep covered in mud, they had a great time! Thanks for staying at Lookout Point Lakeside Inn! We’re guessing the whirlpool tub at the end of the day soothed a few sore muscles.
The inn is only 4 1/2 hours from Dallas, so the guests were able to depart for Dallas and make it home in time to attend the Dallas Cowboys game. Sweet.

Flanked by parents, Jasper and Keisha exchanged vows under shade of the crepe myrtle trees, along the shores of Lake Hamilton. As Keisha walked the outdoor “aisle” to meet her groom, Jasper sang a beautiful love song, accapella, to his bride. as Lookout Point’s photographer captured great photos

After a stressful time of graduate studies and work, the two deserve a beautiful honeymoon. Best wishes!

One of mother nature’s unexpected “gifts” is a water fountain “pond” filled with brim. I’m not a fisherperson, but it’s those lake fish with a blue spot on their sides. There’s probably 100 brim in the pond, plus the 30 goldfish. We are continually inviting guests to fish the brim, and release them the lake—-or take them home in their own cooler. I’m not cooking the fish!
Today our wonderful guest Raymond enjoyed some fishing in our pond, and caught 3 brim in a short amount of time. Yeah! The one goldfish snagged was happily released to swim with his friends.
If you want some easy fishing, come on to Lookout Point. Pull up a chair, sit in the shade, and fish away. Sip on a glass of wine or beer, and RELAX.
I haven’t figured out how to have a fishing tournament in our pond. Any ideas?
