Gray Spring Recreation Area
(Redirected from Gray Spring Recreation Area-Forest Service Road 1003 Historic District)
The Gray Spring Recreation Area is a picnic area with scenic views in the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest of northwestern Arkansas. It is located on northern Franklin County, on Forest Road 1003, and includes a picnic shelter, comfort facilities, an outdoor barbecue pit, and picnic tables. The picnic area and Forest Road 1003 were built in 1934 by a crew from the Civilian Conservation Corps, and were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The road, which winds precariously around Black Mountain, retains a number of surviving CCC-built features, including a bridge and many stone culverts.[2]
