Grand Cypress Lake is a 303-acre cypress-studded lake located in Arkansas County, Arkansas. The lake is part of the George H. Dunklin Jr. Bayou Meto Wildlife Management Area and offers paddlers an opportunity to explore a classic Delta wetland environment.

The lake features extensive stands of cypress trees and provides important habitat for various wildlife species. Paddlers can expect to encounter waterfowl, particularly during migration seasons, as the surrounding area serves as a significant waterfowl wintering ground.

Access is regulated during waterfowl season (November through January), with specific restrictions on boat access times. During this period, boats are only allowed from noon until 6:30 PM. No outboard motors larger than 25 horsepower or surface-drive motors larger than 37 horsepower are permitted on the lake.

The lake is part of a network of waterways within the wildlife management area that includes Cox Cypress Lake and various bayous. This system helps maintain water levels that support the surrounding wetland ecosystem. While primarily managed for wildlife habitat and hunting, the lake offers peaceful paddling opportunities when not impacted by seasonal hunting activities.

Notable nearby features include the larger Halowell Reservoir (600 acres) and Cox Cypress Lake (150 acres), providing additional paddling options within the same area. The flat topography of the region creates generally calm water conditions suitable for beginner to intermediate paddlers.

A free annual General Use Permit from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission is required to access the area. Primitive camping is available at designated sites throughout the wildlife management area for those planning multi-day trips.
