Dive-site story
Situated along the shores of Beaver Lake in northwest Arkansas, this dedicated dive park serves as the primary freshwater training ground for regional divers. Submerged features including training platforms, sunken boats, and vehicle wrecks are linked together by navigation guide lines across the silt and rocky lake bed. Thermal layering is pronounced during warmer months, shifting water conditions noticeably as you descend past the shallow shelf.
