Our Story

Built for people who know the best nights start after a long day outside.

Puddle Duck Lodge sits just outside Corning, Arkansas — a small town with big skies and easy access to some of the state's best hunting and fishing. We started this lodge because we knew there had to be a better way to stay in the area: no hotel chains, no fuss, just a clean place to lay your head after a day in the field or on the water.

Whether you're here for duck season, catfish on the St. Francis, or just a weekend away from everything, we'll make sure you've got somewhere solid to come back to.

The Area

Corning sits at the edge of everything worth doing.

Located in Clay County along the St. Francis River basin, Corning is surrounded by public hunting lands, backwater sloughs, and waterways that draw anglers and waterfowl hunters from across the region. Puddle Duck Lodge puts you minutes from the action and a world away from the noise.
