Event Type Description:
Lake Nixon is a ministry of Second Baptist Church, downtown Little Rock, and we seek to provide our community with opportunities for recreation, education, and sanctuary in this beautiful part of God's creation.

Two different groups, of no more than five each, may sign up to visit during two-hour time slots. To inquire about camping or larger group picnics and parties, please email lakenixon@2bclr.com for more information.

There is no required charge for these visits but we are grateful for donations that support our summer day camp scholarship and sustaining fund, our trail-building projects, or out outdoor preschool.

Donations can be made at: www.lakenixon.com/give

If you would like to make a donation via cash or check you can leave it in the metal box mounted on the front of the Outdoor Preschool building (formerly the Lodge).

Visitor Guidelines:

* The guiding principle for everyone at Lake Nixon is "leave no trace." Please take care to pick up any waste.
* There are yellow recycling receptacles in front of the preschool building and (during summer) by the camp pavilions. We would be grateful if you separate recyclable waste and place it there.
* Dogs are welcome, so long as they remain on a lead/leash. We also ask that you bring bags to pick up their waste.
* Please read the rules posted by the beaches and boating areas. Swimming is not allowed without lifeguards on duty. We hope to provide supervised swim times with a separate sign up this summer. More information will be available on www.lakenixon.com or via our social media feeds (Facebook, Instagram).
* Return all life jackets and paddles to the racks on the west side of the "basket house."
* Smoking and alcohol are prohibited at Lake Nixon.
* Fishing at Lake Nixon is catch-and-release.
* If you'd like to hike the loop trail around the lake, here is a basic map: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/map/lake-nixon-loop-59e0b26?u=i (https://www.alltrails.com/explore/map/lake-nixon-loop-59e0b26?u=i) . There are also small trail marker signs with arrows placed on trees to show the route of the main loop trail.
* Please respect the intention of these free/donation-based visits. If you are signing up related groups to plan for a party, please inquire about a group facility rental.
* We are also building new multi-use (including MTB) trails on the north side of Cooper Orbit road. You are welcome to walk what's ready and see the progress but know that they are not ready for riding yet. the trails start at the West end of the gravel parking lot across the street from the "basket house" area of camp.

The small gate by the main camp entrance will be unlocked for you (and you may see a few people around).

We're glad to host you and we hope you enjoy your visit!
