Water Sports

Beaver Lake is an ideal lake for all water sports. There are many coves perfect for waterskiing and wakeboarding, along with huge open spaces for tubing and jetskiing. Because the lake is rock-bottom, rather than sand or dirt, the water is unbelievably clear, perfect for snorkeling. There are beaches where you can beach your boat and camp out, as well as sand beaches along the swimming areas.

Fishing

Beaver Lake is home to some of the best Striped Bass fishing in North America.  If you would like to try your skills on some of these big guys, we highly recommend the services of a professional guide service. The guide service listed below is arguably the best the area has to offer. Peak times book up fast, so call today to schedule your trip. If you are interested in the fish species that are located in Beaver Lake, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission provides a wealth of information on Arkansas fishing.
