Long Description:The White River valley must have made excellent farm land and this is where three generations of Nina Wood's ancestors farmed. After construction of the dam, Nina Wood and her husband Forrest owned and operated the state park boat dock and a float trip service. Forrest Wood is better known as the founder of Ranger Boats, the acknowledged forerunner of modern bass boats. More about Forrest Wood can be found in the Encyclopedia of Arkansas. (
