Bard Springs Dam No. 2

United States historic place

The Bard Springs Dam No. 2 is a historic recreational support facility in Ouachita National Forest. It is located at the Bard Springs recreation site, southeast of Mena and north of Athens in Polk County, off County Road 82 and Forest Road 106 on the banks of Blaylock Creek. This dam is located at the eastern end of the recreation area, and is about 75 feet (23 m) long and 15 feet (4.6 m) high at its center. It is made of fieldstone, and has a series of staggered steps at its base to reduce erosion. It was built in 1936 by a crew of the Civilian Conservation Corps, and is one of four surviving CCC structures (the others are a second dam, bathhouse, and a picnic shelter) in the immediate area.[2]
