Isn't Mohave AZ a little far from Beaver Lake? I boat on Table Rock lake because its in my back yard however, you must be close by to Eagle Rock. What kind of boating are you looking for?.....ruggs

I moved here about 9 months ago,,,from Mohave Valley(near Havasu) and I can't figure out how to change my location on the sig,,,anyway I run a Carrera Party cat,,,and just wondering if there is anyone else out there that enjoys hot boats,,,I've met a few people w/ nice formulas and such,,,just seeing if there are any west coasters out here,,and people that just plain like fast noisy boats,,Table Rock is huge,looks like a great lake,,,,I've noticed some of the lakes in this area boast some big water when the wind kicks up....

Been to Beaver Lake a few times, but I'm a Table Rock boater myself. Going this weekend. After Labor Day the lake pretty much clears out & it is awesome for cruising. Stay away from the Kimberling City to Oswalt Bluff (The Swing) area & the big water shouldn't be a problem.

If you ever want to come up to Beaver Lake it about a hour and a half north of I-40 on your way to lake Ouachita,,,the water here is great, its clean and stays right aroung 78 to 84,,,,lots of room to run hard,,,not alot of traffic and the cops aren't to bad,,,,,,,,but anyway the invite is always open,,,,,,Jason

Live in Northeast Ar usually play in Norfork closest lake. I have been to Beaver and Tablerock as a kid both are great lakes. Glad to see someone from the area posting.

Usually go a couple of times a year. Did not make it up there this year. Got tired of feeling like I was still in High School hiding my beer because they turned it into a dry lake. (no alcohol). One of the prettiest lakes around though!

I love it....I finally got the boat on the water in mid-August, and thought I might get the attention of the local law,because we have a west coast style boat,,but they never bothered me,,,met up with some boaters, and they say that it was bad at one time, but has let up,,,se we had some fun....no probs,,,

Hopefully that is true. Might just have to head back up there next year. It is too beautiful of a lake the kick to the curb!

BeaverJ I'm in the process of purchasing a lake cabin on Beaver Lake. It's about 7 miles south of Avoca. The street that the cabin is on dead ends into the lake (boat ramp) and we have a wet slip in the small community marina.
We have two boats, mine is a 18' jet with 460BBF and the wife has a pontoon boat. we use the pontoon on windy days as it cuts right through the choppy water.
Maybe we could hook up next summer?

Howdy Guys.
I live on Table Rock and my friend lives on Beaver which is less than an hour drive from here. He lives not far from the dam.
Both lakes are great, but Beaver being the smaller one at 22,000 acres verses Table Rock's 44,000 acres is a quieter less busy place to boat. Much less commercialized too which is nice.
Both myself and the Beaver Lake friend have 19 ft. STV Euro Mod-VP tunnel hulls with 260 hp. Merc. outboards. Easily 100+ mph rigs when the water is not too rough.
Table Rock has it's share of large performance stern drives with some jets & V-drives scattered around mostly during the summer. Lots of big cruisers around too which beats up on our small rigs.
Dont know about the party scene on Beaver but it's alive & well here on Table Rock. Best spots are a couple miles south of the Dam and by the Aunt's Creek Bluffs.
My e-mail is arrr@interlinc.net and his is adam@adamsells.com if anyone wants to contact us directly. I dont come on this site very often and I dont think Adam does either. We normally hang around on www.screamandfly.com
Take care.
Randy.

My folks live in Rogers, Arkansas and boat on Beaver Lake regularly. They own a store right across the bridge. Keep an eye out for a 19-foot white/blue/yellow Rogers jet. That's them. :smile:

Beaver, maybe we could plan a spring get together. I'm probably only 2 hrs north of you.
