Beaver
Lake is a nature lover's delight during all seasons. Towering
limestone bluffs, natural caves and a wide variety of trees and
flowering shrubs afford shutter bugs and nature lovers many hours
of enjoyment throughout the year.
In
spring, visitors can enjoy a pleasant drive along hillsides quilted
with beautiful redbud, serviceberry and dogwood blossoms.
Then
between the sheer enjoyment of summer and the peaceful solitude
of winter, visitors can hike along several nature trails and watch
the autumn foliage ignite into fiery displays.
Beaver Lake is nestled high in the Ozark Mountains of northwest
Arkansas, the birthplace of the White River. With some 487 miles
of natural shoreline, Beaver Lake offers the best in recreational
opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts of all ages.
Taking
advantage of the natural and scenic beauty, the Corps of Engineers
has constructed a variety of recreational facilities around the
lake. Paved access roads wind through 12 developed parks. In these
campgrounds, visitors can enjoy modern campsites offering electricity
and fire rings with drinking water, showers, and restrooms nearby.
Other facilities, such as picnic sites, swimming beaches, hiking
trails, boat launching ramps, sanitary dump stations, group picnic
shelters, and amphitheaters are also available in the parks. Seven
Corps of Engineers parks contain year-round commercial marinas
providing grocery items, fuel, boat rental and storage, fishing
guides, and other supplies and services.
