NORFORK LAKE

 Construction of Norfork dam on the North Fork of the White River was completed in 1944.  The surface area of the lake is approximately 22,000 acres.  Norfork Lake, formed by the dam, has a shoreline of about 550 miles.

 There are 19 Army Corps of Engineers parks on Norfork Lake that offer camping, picnicking, swimming beaches, and boat launches.  There are also commercial marinas offering slip rentals, boat rentals, guide services, etc.  Private resorts are also available that offer extensive services and amenities for the convenience and comfort of lake area vacationers.

  The extremely clear water of Norfork Lake are ideal for swimming, scuba diving, water skiing and other water sports.  Midwest scuba divers drive hundreds of miles to dive Norfork Lake.  The larger, open, breezier areas of the lake are utilized by sailboats. It is a beautiful sight seeing them quietly skimming across the blue water with a bright sky shining down.

 The most popular activity on the lake is fishing.  Most varieties of fresh water game fish are found in Norfork Lake.  Black bass, white bass, walleye, crappie, bream and catfish are plentiful.  The specialty of the lake is striped bass.  It is not rare for a 40 pounder to be caught.  30 pounders are commonly landed.  Landing one in the boat is quite an experience.  Be prepared to ice down a lot of filets!

 The Army Corps of Engineers own the land surrounding the lake.  It is open to public use, subject to regulations.  Public hunting is allowed, subject to state regulation.
