Lakes
Arkansas is known for its beautiful lakes and we have plenty to offer the recreational enthusiast. Fishing, boating, waterskiing, and camping are just a few of the activities to be enjoyed. The five Diamond Lakes and the Arkansas River offer a great relaxing retreat from city life.
Lake Hamilton
This lake was built in 1932 when the Arkansas Power and Light Company completed Carpenter Dam on the Ouachita River to generate electricity. The 7,200-acre impoundment is now one of Arkansas' most popular recreational and residential lakes. The Belle of Hot Springs Riverboat offers sightseeing, lunch, dinner and dance cruises on the lake. This lake is located off of scenic Hwy 7 in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
