Renowned for its pristine water clarity, Norfork Lake is an 8,900-hectare paradise for snorkelers, scuba divers, swimmers, and fishers. Tucked away in the Ozarks region of Arkansas and the southwest region of Missouri, this beautiful lake is a recreational gem with many watery branches, creek bays, and sandy islands as well as underwater rock formations, caves, and teeming schools of fish. The lake is known for its fantastic fishing and has an abundance of bream, striped bass, crappie, catfish, and walleye as well as a variety of watersports like boating, swimming, and water-skiing.
