Cove Lake, which is on US Forest Service property north of Magazine Mountain maintains a campground on the south shore.
[Photos taken 25 Aug]
The lack of wind made for a good photo, but, alas, it also allowed skeeters to seek out warm-blooded mammals -- like me! :-(>
And, yes, there are fish in Cove Lake; however, most of the rises were from small fish; I saw no big swirls, which are more indicative of bigger fish. Given the elevation, I assume the fish are trout rather than bass.
One of the viewpoints while driving to the shortest trail to the top of Magazine Mountain; believe this is a look to the north and the hills adjacent to the Arkansas River.
Sunflowers at the base of a partially-dead juniper at one of the viewpoints; whether they were there when the viewpoint was built or the state of Arkansas planted them is unclear.
Panning upward the bulk of the juniper is very much alive.
Luckily, the parking spot where the road to the campground branches off was empty and I parked my rig there -- from which it was relatively easy 0.4 mile walk to the top.
In the foreground is a map of Arkansas with a USGS base marker indicating the top of Magazine Mountain at 2,753 feet.
