Nestled in the picturesque Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas, the DeGray Lake Triathlon at DeGray Lake Resort State Park in Bismarck, AR, is an event that combines stunning natural beauty with a challenging and exhilarating athletic experience. This triathlon is perfect for seasoned athletes and enthusiasts alike, offering a unique blend of swimming, cycling, and running against the backdrop of a 13,800-acre lake and its surrounding lush landscape.
Created in 1974, DeGray Lake Resort State Park is a gem of Arkansas’ outdoor recreation, with its championship-rated 18-hole golf course and the state’s only resort within a state park. The lake itself was formed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ construction of DeGray Dam on the Caddo River, a project completed in 1972.
Participants can expect a well-organized event with scenic routes that traverse the lake’s shoreline and the rolling hills of the Ouachita Mountains. The swim leg takes place in the crystal-clear waters of DeGray Lake, followed by a cycling route that winds through the park’s scenic byways, and finally, a running segment that showcases the park’s diverse terrain. With its rich history, beautiful scenery, and variety of recreational activities, the DeGray Lake Triathlon is an event not to be missed for anyone looking to challenge themselves in a breathtaking setting.
