Dooley Dipping Vat
The Dooley Dipping Vat is a historic former cattle dipping facility in Ouachita National Forest, southeast of Boles, Arkansas. It is located on a high bank of Countiss Creek east of County Road 925 (Dipping Vat Road). It is a U-shaped concrete structure, oriented north-south with a concrete pad at southern (exit) end.
