4 жыл бұрынIsland Pontoon Tent Camping, Diving Fearless Rock Underwater Memorial: Lake Ouachita - Ouachita National Forest - I wanted to dive the Fearless Rock Underwater Memorial for a while now and decided to load my pontoon boat up with my camping gear and supplies and headed out to Lake Ouachita near Hot Springs Arkansas for some Island Pontoon Tent Camping. The Fearless Rock Underwater Memorial sits in approximately 24 feet of water next to Blakely Mountain Dam in memory of Navy Seal Chief Petty Officer Adam Lee Brown who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country. On the rocky dam wall is one medium sized rock that has been painted red with a golden number 24 painted on it. The red rock marks the spot to dive down to find the underwater memorial. Below are more links about this underwater memorial if you are interested in learning more. Thanks for watching!

Mark, you amaze me. What a beautiful place and a very interesting Memorial. You did such a great job filming outside above water and underwater. I think I'll remain camping on land. I've never really enjoyed the water that much have some sort of inborn fear of water. I sure enjoyed watching it though. Thank you for sharing.

Great video! Love the memorial. Back in the late 80's me and my grandparents put our boat in at Buckville and drove over towards Mtn. Harbor for a fireworks show on the 4th of July ( don't know if they still do that). Me and my buddy dropped the grandparents back at the boat ramp and camped on one of the islands (great times). I'm heading back up for the first time since 93 in two weeks and will be disperse camping . I have enjoyed watching your videos as they remind me of some of the good times i had as a teenager being able to spend a lot of time up there! I have subscribed and like all the videos i watch. Thanks!

I have not yet. But I have been eyeing it for quit a while. I'll be camping out in a campground close by it to do some spear fishing in a couple of weeks and was planning on scouting it out while I was there. I was going to see if camping was aloud on it since it's a national nature trail also. So you are saying camping is aloud on it?

Really like both of your channels. You really helped me with the final decision on where to store my boat year-round. Quick question, do you just leave your vehicle at the ramp parking lot? If so, do you just pay the day fee for the number of days/nights you’ll be out there?
@DispersedCamperMan 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Donnie! I do leave my truck and trailer at a COE boat ramp over night. I have a life time Access Pass Card that I display in my windshield that lets me use the boat ramp for free. It's a little perk I get for being retired military. What you can do is pay the couple dollars at the pay here sign, or you can buy a yearly pass from any COE park attendant. With this pass, you can use any COE boat ramp for free, just display your yearly pass in your windshield, I think they run $40. I hope this helps.

Very nice. Somebody must maintain the memorial to control algae growth. All that lake, a boat, and no fishing. Hmmm?
@DispersedCamperMan 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks! There is a local dive shop that maintains the memorial and weekly goes down and wipes everything down. I think in the winter months, they bring everything up and store it at their dive shop on display. There was a lot of lake, but it was very flooded. I've got a fishing trip planned the end of this month, planning on doing some spear fishiing.

Where do you park ? Can I park for 2 weeks while I'm out in my canoe camping on an island?
@DispersedCamperMan Жыл бұрын
You should be able to park at any COE boat ramps. You have to pay the boat ramp fee everyday to park there. I don't remember what it is. I have an access pass I put in the window, I don't pay the boat ramp fee. You can go to a COE office and buy an annual pass for your windshield, you'll be good to go.
