Beaver Lake Information

Let this be your starting point when planning your Ozarks vacation. Here's what you need to know about Beaver Lake:

What's Fun to Do at Beaver Lake?

  • First, be sure to reserve your free Beaver Lake Day Pass when you reserve your cabin. You'll be able to go boating, waterskiing, jetskiing, hiking, picnicking, and swimming at beautiful Beaver Lake.
  • Fishing guide and taxidermist Robert Johnson offers guided fishing trips on Beaver Lake and the White River, providing the boat, fuel, all tackle, lures, live bait, fish cleaning, taxidermy services, and photo printing at launch site. All you have to do is get your fishing license and show up.
  • Get all the details of Arkansas fishing regulations before you start.
  • Check out the up-to-date fishing report.
  • A collection of fishing information for the Ozarks angler.
  • Sailing is one of the best ways to enjoy the lake. The Beaver Lake Sailing Club offers a wealth of information.
  • Castaway Sailing operates the 34 foot sloop Defiance as a charter from the Beaver Lake Sailing Club. Sail with Captain Andy for full day or half day excursions.
  • Rent a boat at Starkey Marina or take a cruise on the Belle of the Ozarks.
  • The Beaver Lake area, including the Retreat at Sky Ridge, offers wonderful opportunities for wildlife observation and photo safaris.
  • If you'd rather hunt, visit the Arkansas Bowhunters Association or the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission.
  • The Blue Spring Heritage Center combines a mile-long trail through beautiful gardens with history and varied infromational programs.
  • Northwest Arkansas Environment Central keeps you up to date on green events at Beaver Lake and elsewhere in the area.
  • Visit War Eagle Cavern to see amazing cave formations. A great way to get out of the heat, too. Our average temperature of 65 degrees is the year-round temperature in the caverns.
  • The War Eagle Mill, a working water-powered grist mill, offers a peek into the past, and good down-home Ozark cooking with whole grains and famous beans and cornbread. Live music on special occasions, too.
  • Don't miss Opera in the Ozarks at Inspiration Point. From Hansel and Gretel to Pagliacci, Opera in the Ozarks offers first-quality performances in an idyllic setting.
