Anyone who says they don’t believe in love at first sight, obviously hasn’t seen this…
Clearwater Lake not only serves as flood control for Black River and Poplar Bluff, but also has a beautiful recreational lake for fishermen, swimmers, paddle boarders, and more.
And it’s not the only gorgeous slice of nature in the area. Sam A. Baker State Park grants its guests with a picturesque backdrop of the Saint Francis Mountains, a landscape accented by the crisp cool waters of the Saint Francis River and Big Creek.
A variety of sights and sounds means an even larger variety of ways to see them and things to do. Whether you love riding horses, love to fish, kayak, swim, or explore, Sam A. Baker State Park is the perfect place to fall in love with nature with the ones you care for the most.
When you’re done exploring for the day, head on back to one of Poplar Bluff’s several restaurants where you can eat like a local before spending the evening in one of our comfortable lodging options.
