Lodging Beaver Lake Area

[Steady99]

Wife and I are planning a winter trip to Beaver. 1st time. No idea where to stay, but we're trailering from STL. We are seniors, tho agile.

Appreciate any logistical advice re: where to stay, where to rent boat slip, drop trailer, get food. Prefer basic lodging, but mid range is fine too.

Thanks, SteadyEddie

If you're looking for hotel, Bentonville area has literally dozens to choose from and there are many, many places to eat, you're about 30 minutes from the lake there. But it all depends what part of the lake you want to fish. Here's a link with marina phone numbers.

Thank you for your courteous reply. I couldn't find the Marina data on the internet or elsewhere. Couldn't really see any marinas on Google Earth either. Just discovered that my Proximatron filter eliminated a lot of data. Turned it to bypass, now I can see, I can see.

We're coming from St Louis, so would Eureka Springs offer similar lodging possibilities? I do shop for good value-price when I can.

This would be my first trip to Beaver Lake. Hoping to catch a break on the weather, then booking an impromptu trip.

Spoon & topwater for striper mostly. Any suggestions for stripers and largemouths during the winter months???

That'd be how I select lodging I guess. Need to find a marina slip, and a place to drop my trailer.

pointers pls. Thx. Steady...

Most of the stripers are up in the river right now.

try war eagle marina they may have a slip, but you might have to keep your boat on the trailer at night. stay in springdale, and you can put in at hickory creek or war eagle.

a buddy of mine caught some crappie a couple weeks ago further up the river around blue springs.

if your dead set on having a slip...prairie creek in rogers is probably the only one large enough to allow it.

Just went out on Beaver yesterday and there are some slips available at Prarie Creek dont know if you want to make the long trip down to the rivers from there. But it is possible just be shure to keep an Eye on your map so you dont run agound the lake is about 7 ft. Low and the stripers are biteing from what i hear. If you need more info give one of our friendly guides a call or contact me through Email thehornes3@yahoo.com ill be glad to help ya find what ya need.
