Craighead Forest Park

I go to fish. I enjoy it. If you go bring boots it's grown up around edges and the heat this year has water levels down you got to get a little dirty but it's great I catch all kinds of fish big and small

Best funded and maintained public park with no entry fee I've ever seen. The shower and laundry access is great for when you're camping.

Very beautiful place to take the children to play or go for a walk or whatever! Has so many activities for the whole family and It’s absolutely free!!

Great place to run.
All of the facilities were open, the campground looked fairly full. I enjoyed the view of the lake.
And the walking bridge built by my father-in-law way back in 2005! I thought it was pretty NEAT!

Nice park and very surprised — tucked away, great lake view — nice walking trails and bike trails.

Nice little lake to walk around. I was told not to ever go in the water for fear of brain-eating amoebas, but I never once felt compelled to jump in during my first visit to the park the other day. There also seems to be some moderately extensive and challenging single-track mountain bike trails weaving around the area.

Really great place to clear your head if you want quiet, but also nice to have a brief wave to the other folks out there and maybe stop to pet a dog or 2!

Oh, and the children's playground is the neatest one I've seen around town so far.

The tent camping areas were perfect. Everything was clean and well kept. The camp host,Norman was very nice and very good representation of what you get at this campground. I came camping with my dog on my motorcycle and I was able to have a nice evening with unlimited free firewood included in the $10 site! What a steal!

This place is amazing to stay at. They have it all for the family. A few kids parks, walking trails, and mountain bike trails.

Beautiful place to camp (RV) with great walking/biking areas.

Large variety of endless activities to keep yourself or family busy with fun. All inclusive and beautiful lake. Attended multiple days and was surprised by a clean AC restroom! Above average to my liking. They're currently building a new bike or walk path along Access 5 across the skate park. Continously upgrades that are enjoyable.

One of the most beautiful parks I've stayed in. It's quiet, very serene and I was right next to the lake. Such an amazing place and great price.

Nice RV park. Great views. Mounting biking is a good beginner park if you are just learning.

We were passing through Jonesboro and needed a place to spend the night in our motorhome on our way home from Yellowstone. The park is huge and the people on the phone were so incredibly nice and helpful. When we arrived, the campsite was also huge and one of the most spacious, nice places we stayed. We were so excited to stay at a place with trees and such a nice environment. We even had some firewood waiting for us; however, we did not use it. Kudos to the city of Jonesboro! This park is so nice and offers a great place to walk or bike or camp.

BEST CAMPING EVER. we're in our 87 VW Westfalia campervan and it was hilariously small compared to neighbors. These pads are BIG and even the tent spots are awesome, and they have lakeside spots! There weren't many people out, and maybe that's bc its April, but it was divine. 2 dogs and they both loved the huge green area behind our spot to play around. Our camp host was Norman, and I tell you what, he was the sweetest. 💕 Anyway, 100/10 recommend this place for camping or playing. There's fishing, a dog park (small attached to water) and like 4 playgrounds.

I love walking around the lake , it's beautiful scenery. It's clean. Lots of playgrounds for the kids. Good parking. Plenty of docks. Fishing. Boating. They even have kayak rentals which I can't wait to try. They have bigger trails for walking and biking. Just great place been coming here since I was a baby. Did a wedding here and it was so pretty.

11.00 a nite. Water, shower, free firewood, picnic table, trash can at every site. Hiking and walking trails. Playgrounds. Stopped here thinking I would just rest for an hour, then go find a Loves to sleep at. In

I left my house heading out on an adventure (not dangerous, but unexpected). And I ended up in the neighborhood. I then Googled a park near me and I was 19 minutes away. I didn't do a lot of exploring, I was hoping to sit and eat my lunch and hopefully get some b-roll footage for my videos. The little I saw was beautiful. There was a lake with a cute little bridge. There was also a hiking and bike trail, pavilions and even a small gated area where there was a shoreline so you could put your feet in the water. I definitely plan to visit again and explore more. It was great to see people and pets walking, jogging, biking and even skating. It was a sweet treat.

Beautiful park. A friend and I played disc golf here. Has two separate decent 18 hole courses. They were well kept and fun though they could have been better marked. They also have a nice lake that we got to sit and watch ducks and geese swim around 😜

Went out this morning to see how the fish would be acting & I actually caught quite a few bluegill and some small bass. Wasn't expecting bigger fish. Just wanted to try some new baits I just got

It's changed so much since the 70s. If I lived near there I'd be there daily. The trails are wonderful and thank somebody for the exercise equipment the put around there. Great idea. Looks like a great place to take the kids.
