Double Angel Lodge

Double Angel Hunting Club was founded by Greg Bennett in 1996 as a place for him and his family to bond and enjoy the outdoors. The name “Double Angel” originated when Greg was hospitalized with a serious heart condition. While being transferred from Magnolia Regional Medical Center to Little Rock, he received two handmade angels from his nieces, along with paperwork from the bank for purchasing the initial hunting ground, which became known as Double Angel Hunting Club. After acquiring this land, several friends with teenage boys joined the club, all eager to spend quality time with their families and enjoy hunting. Many of these members and their families have been part of the club for nearly 30 years.

Initially, the club purchased a lodge near Highway 82 between Lewisville and Garland City, Arkansas. As the club expanded, a more suitable location on Mays Lake was found, leading to the construction of the current Double Angel hunting lodge in 2006. The lodge features 10 bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and shower, a spacious living area, a commercial kitchen, and a chef’s kitchen. It overlooks Mays Lake and one of the premier blocks of flooded timber in Southwest Arkansas. From the porch, you can watch mallards taking refuge in the timber during the evenings. In the late season, the lake becomes a refuge for thousands of ducks daily.

Another structure on the property, known as “the shop,” is ideal for cooking, grilling, and camaraderie. It includes a large open area for putting on waders in a heated building for cold mornings. Both the lodge and the shop are equipped with Starlink Internet, multiple TVs for entertainment, and a state-of-the-art Klipsch sound system. The shop also has a fire pit that doubles as a grill, perfect for morning breakfasts. A third structure includes a large shop and covered equipment shed, both heated for comfort before cold morning hunts.

The property boasts two large lakes stocked with trophy bass and various other fish species. The flooded timber has two dedicated duck blinds that have yielded hundreds of ducks over the years. On opening weekend of 2024, these blinds were hunted with 10 hunters and they reached their duck limit in about 30 minutes on both, Saturday and Sunday. The property also has fields used for hunting or as resting areas, which help keep ducks in the vicinity. These fields are adjacent to the flooded timber and are easily accessible by side-by-side vehicles for a convenient hunting experience.

The Bennett family has decided it’s time to pass this property on to the next person or group, hoping they can create as many cherished memories and relationships as they have had over the past 30 years.
