BEAVER LAKE, ROGERS, AR
Close to home is the gorgeous Beaver Lake located across both Benton and Carroll Counties. This 28,000-acre man-made reservoir sits right in the Ozark Mountains along the White River. It is picturesque, with a stunning shoreline made up of towering cliffs and caves, covered in various species of trees. Beaver Lake is a popular tourist destination, not only for its beauty but also for its recreational activities. There are 12 parks around its 487 miles of shoreline where visitors can go camping, swimming, fishing, and picnicking. Beaver Lake also is a source of drinking water for Northwest Arkansas.
LAKE DARDANELLE, RUSSELLVILLE, AR
Further south is Lake Dardanelle, a 34,300-acre reservoir on the Arkansas River that stretches through five counties in the western part of Arkansas. It is home to Lake Dardanelle State Park that sits on both sides of the lake in both Russellville and Dardanelle. The park provides visitors with picnic areas, pavilions, boat ramps, and playgrounds. In addition to parks, there is an abundance of forests surrounding the lake and plenty of camping grounds to have fun with the family.
LAKE OUACHITA, MOUNTAIN PINE, AR
Arkansas’ largest lake, Lake Ouachita is 40,000 acres of clean, freshwater nestled in the scenic Ouachita National Park.
