BEAVER LAKE
Beaver
Lake, nestled high in the Northwest Arkansas' Ozark Mountains and located only
five minutes from downtown Rogers, has 487 miles of shoreline and covers nearly
30,000 surface acres. Fed by the White River, the lake is Arkansas' premier
recreational and sporting lake.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers administers the lake and maintains twelve year-round parks. Each of these have privately-owned & operated marina facilities, which provide boat-launching and docking facilities, fuel, groceries, fishing supplies, boat and equipment rental, as well as other services. Additionally, there are nine developed parks with modern campsites offering electricity, drinking water, shower and restroom facilities, swimming beaches, picnic sites for groups and individuals and miles of hiking trails through the spectacular Ozark mountains.
Each year, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission stocks the lake with millions of fingerling game fish. Rainbow and German brown trout are abundant on the upper White River below Beaver Dam. Small- and largemouth bass, crappie, bream, white and striper bass, channel and spoonbill catfish hide under the clear waters of Beaver Lake itself. The forests around Beaver Lake abound with plant and wildlife.
Pleasure boaters can enjoy the limestone bluffs that line the lake as they travel along its clean, clear waters. The lake is also popular for swimming, water skiing and scuba diving. These are just a few of the recreational opportunities available at or near Beaver Lake. For additional information, please contact:
