Confirmed from Lake Frierson State Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Water-focused area for anglers and other outdoor enthusiasts, featuring playgrounds and campsites.

A nice state park off of highway 141 between Jonesboro and Paragould. It has a visitor center where you can buy snack foods, fishing tackle and bait, camping equipment, and get more information about the park in general.
What a beautiful park . This place was out this world with fall color . And I love that it's got alot of interactions for dogs and kids . It's small but worth every inch . Can't wait to see dog wood lane trail in bloom.i wish the hiking trail went around the hole lake .
Nice little park. Fishing Pier with a kids play area close by with picnic tables,Boating, Camping area,Picnic areas and a very nice Indoor Pavilion you can rent that overlooks Lake Freirson. Lake Freirson is known for fishing mostly. It's in a good location for shopping if you was to need anything..
