Lake View is a city in Phillips County, Arkansas, United States. As of the 2020 census, Lake View had a population of 327. There is also a Lakeview in Baxter County. The original settlement name was "Turkey Scratch" from the 1850s until the town was renamed in the 1920s. When the town was re-established in 1937, Lake View became one of three communities in Arkansas to be reserved for black farm families by the Resettlement Administration. It is one of the few communities in the U.S. with an African-American percentage at over 90 percent of the population.
