Questions people ask about Beaver Lake
Answered from the same readings as the rest of this page. Where we have no basis for an answer, there is no entry — spot-by-spot local knowledge is not something we can claim for Beaver Lake.
- Is it worth fishing Beaver Lake today?
- 7 out of 10 — biting. Worth a cast. The strongest stretch is 4:38 AM–6:38 AM. That number is worked out fresh each morning from the solunar windows, the pressure trend, the water level.
- What time should you fish Beaver Lake?
- Today's major windows run 4:38 AM–6:38 AM and 5:01 PM–7:01 PM, with minor windows at 12:24 PM–1:24 PM and 10:33 PM–11:33 PM. Sunrise is 6:35 AM and sunset 8:02 PM. A major landing on first or last light is the stretch worth setting an alarm for.
- What is the water temperature at Beaver Lake?
- No gauge on Beaver Lake measures water temperature. US reservoir gauges report height, not temperature — so rather than estimate it, this page leaves it out and leans on the windows and the pressure trend instead.
- What is the water level at Beaver Lake right now?
- 1117.71 ft above NGVD-29, read at 3:00 PM from the Beaver_Dam-Headwater gauge run by the USACE. Over 24 hours it is down 0.19 ft.
- Can you eat the fish you catch in Beaver Lake?
- That is a health question and it belongs with the state, not with us. AR publishes fish consumption advisories through its health or environmental agency, and those are the ones that count. We give no eating advice.
Where these numbers come from

The White River above Beaver Dam, read by the Corps of Engineers. USGS has no gauge on the lake. The Corps puts the top of the flood pool at 1,130 ft and the bottom of the normal pool at 1,077 ft, with the old streambed at 914 ft — so the water at the dam is roughly two hundred feet deep. No temperature sensor, so the depth calls stay open.
No one types these in by hand. If a source goes quiet, the page says so instead of showing you yesterday.
