Lake Nixon is a private recreation area on Cooper Orbit Road on the southwestern outskirts of Little Rock, Arkansas.

The lake is 34 acres (14 ha) in size, with a narrow shape oriented roughly northwest to southeast.

The south side of the lake is in a natural state, while the central portion of the north shore has been developed as a summer day camp.

The site of the camp was the subject of a ground-breaking civil rights case, Daniel v. Paul, decided by the United States Supreme Court in 1969.

Two African American girls sought admission to the grounds during a heat wave in 1966, and filed suit after they were refused.
