Shoreline Management

The Corps of Engineers owns appoximately 8,700 acres of land surrounding DeQueen Lake. At conservation pool of 437.00 ft DeQueen Lake provides 32 miles of shoreline to its visitors. The boundary line between this government land and private property is irregular and is not a set distance from the lakeshore. Survey monuments placed at ground level define it. A 5-foot red steel fence post is set about one foot from the marker as an aid to location. Trees along the boundary line are marked with a 4 inch wide red band as an additional aid to location of the line. These trees, however, are off line and indicate only that the line is nearby. DeQueen Lake is not zoned for the placement of boat docks. The Corps of Engineers does not provide permits for land altercations, vegetation modification, paths, or fire protection on DeQueen Lake. Park Rangers are available for assistants in location of government boundary lines.
