Bear, Arkansas

Bear, Arkansas, formerly also called Bear City, Arkansas is a small unincorporated community in Garland County, Arkansas. It is close to the shore of Lake Ouachita which was formed by the building of the Blakely Mountain Dam across the Ouachita River. Up until some point in the early 20th century after 1910 Bear was in Montgomery County, Arkansas. However it was decided to make the boundary more regular so Bear as well as Buckville and Cedar Glades were transferred to Garland County. Today Bear has very few inhabitants and is surrounded by the Ouachita National Forest.
