Lake Erling is impounded on the Bodcau River (sometimes referenced as “Bodcau Bayou / Bodcau Creek” area). When water leaves Lake Erling (via the dam / spillway / outlet), it drains into Bodcau River. Bodcau River is part of the watershed in southwestern Arkansas and flows generally toward or into the larger drainage basin linked to the Red River system.
