Review & FAQ:

Located several miles northwest of Little Rock in the Central Arkansas Region and surrounded by over 70 miles of wooded shoreline, Lake Maumelle is a slice of nature lover's heaven. Created by the damming of the Big Maumelle River in 1957, the lake is also the main water supply for Little Rock, Arkansas, and therefore allows limited recreational activities on and around it. While primary contact with the water is prohibited, the lake is stocked with a variety of fish, including various species of bass and crappie, and anglers and sailboat enthusiasts can enjoy the tranquil waters and the peaceful surroundings of the lake.
