Info:

The Battle of Jenkins' Ferry was fought April 30, 1864, in Grant County, Arkansas as part of the Camden Expedition of the American Civil War. Union Major General Fred Steele’s forces retreated from Camden after being mauled at Marks’ Mills and Poison Spring. On the afternoon of April 29, the Union forces reached Jenkins’ Ferry and began crossing the Saline River, which was swollen by heavy rain. Rebel forces arrived on the 30th and attacked repeatedly. The Federals repulsed the attacks and finally crossed with all their men and supply wagons, many of which they were compelled to abandon in the swamp north of Saline. The Confederates bungled a good chance to destroy Steele’s army, which after crossing the river, regrouped at Little Rock.

Agian this location baffles us. Even though no evidence turned up we had several unexplained personal experiences. During the beginning of the investigation investigators Ben Summers and Casey Cheff were investigating the boat launch near the turn-around at the back of the park. Cheff noticed a dark figure behind a tree almost like it was something poking its head out to look at him. A few seconds later Summers noticed the samething only this time it look as if it ran down the boat ramp. The investigators chased after it with no succsess. During the middle of the investigation investigators Ben Summers and Earl Laliberte were investigating the open area of the park by the pavilion. Agian Summers noticed a shadow dart away from him. Then during the tear-down Earl Laliberte whitnessed a small black apparition by the pavilion which upon being noticed darted away. It is clear that this may be intellegent haunt.
