Is there a way to view recent activity date by creating a custom v

I want to be able to view most recent activty date at a glance from the
contact screen. I have created a custom view, but I can not get a date to
populate. I have tried using created or modified from the Journal fields,
but I either get the date the contact was created or none. Is there a way to
set up a field that will display the date of the most recent activity?

the created and modified dates should work. (They do here.) While there
shouldn't be a difference when using the field from another item type, there
is a created and modified field for contacts which you can use.

I don't want the date the contact was created. I want the date of the most
recent activity. This isn't an available field to chosse when setting up a
new view. Is there a way to do it?

The Modified date would be as close to that as you can come. Not every
action updates the Modified date, however.
