Review & FAQ:

Situated 3 miles south of the town of Conway in the Central Region of Arkansas, Lake Conway is the most significant recreational lake ever constructed by a state wildlife agency. Built by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission by damming Palarm Creek in 1951, the 6,700-acre Lake Conway is approximately 8 miles long with 52 miles of shoreline and a depth of 18 feet and is renowned for its excellent boating and fishing. A nursery pond on the east side of the lake allows for stocking with a variety of fish from crappie and catfish to largemouth bass, which are protected by plenty of partially submerged stumps, log piles, and cypress trees, making it one of the state's most popular fishing spots.
