East < GO > West

The Piney Beach Resort on Tank Rd in Devils Elbow sits on the west side of the Big Piney River. The resort was built sometime between 1949 to 1952 by Riley Davenport. There were 8 or 9 cabins, a lodge and a private beach. Before the big flood of 2017 the one 1 room or 2 room cabins could be rented by the week or month. When we went by after the flood it looked like they were working to restore the cabins. Before the 2017 flood 5 of the original cabins were available for rent.

The property changed owners several time over the years and had been closed after an earlier flood in 1982. It reopened to guests after another set of new owners took over in 2006.

Heading west you need to back track a bit from the intersection of Teardrop Rd and the 4 lane to get to the Piney Beach Cabins.

It is located off of Route 66 (Hwy Z) on Tank Rd.
