Dive-site story
Formed by the damming of the Little Red River in north-central Arkansas, Greers Ferry Lake offers extensive freshwater diving across submerged rock bluffs, relic roadbeds, and remnants of flooded structures. Divers explore flooded tree stands and clear drop-offs around islands and recreation areas like Dam Site Park and Sandy Beach, where thermoclines create sharp temperature shifts beneath the surface layer.
