A hike in the woods and in town revealed that the leaves have not reached peak colors yet. Many trees still are hanging onto green leaves, others are showing off yellows, reds, and oranges. Ray and I
hike the waterfalls trail at Lake Catherine State Park. With all the previous rain, the waterfalls are running fast and strong. Gorgeous! We also walked the new Hollywood Park in town, following the Hot Springs creek. It’s a beautiful multi-purpose path for bicyclists and walkers/runners. 
November is one of our favorite months in Arkansas!
Lots of great outdoors activities, and beautiful colors. We’d love to welcome you at Lookout Point Lakeside Inn, and direct you to the best hiking trails!

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.

It’s back to school season, and perhaps you’d like to sneak away for a couple of days before life gets too hectic. We’re offering an August Special: stay two nights anytime through the end of August. You’ll receive one-half dozen chocolate covered strawberries in your room awaiting your arrival, plus a chilled bottle of French Sparkling Wine (Risque by Toad Hollow) or a chilled bottle of sparkling juice.
As an added bonus, the gardens are still lush and green. From our Texas friends and guests, especially around the Austin area, we hear how dry and brown the earth is from the continuing drought. That certainly isn’t the situation here on Lake Hamilton! We’d love to see you, and hope you can get away for an end of summer trip.
Be sure to ask for the August Special.

Coffee in hand, two fishing rods, bucket of fresh worms, and a small pond filled with fish—what more could a fisherman want early in the morning? 
Raymond caught at least a dozen bream (or blue gill, as I’ve been informed). He was heading home to provide a fish cookout for friends this evening. Thank you for thinning out the lake fish from our pond! 12 down, over 100 to go.
Our gardener, Pat, tells us that he’s actually seen a bass, at least 16 inches long, in the pond. Who knew???
So, you’re welcome to bring your rod and reel, and fish the lazy way at Lookout Point. Catch & release (into Lake Hamilton) OR take ‘em home. When Ray & I created a luxury inn with lots of amenities, we did not know just how many amenities Lookout Point Lakeside Inn would actually include! Ha…
