Welcome BassCat
Anglers to Norfork Lake

The members of the Norfork Lake Chamber of Commerce welcome you
to the 2011 BassCat Boats Owner Invitational Tournament.
For your convenience, the Norfork Lake Chamber of Commerce is
happy to provide you with Norfork Lake area information with the hope to
make your visit more enjoyable, comfortable, and wildly successful.
If this is your first visit to Norfork Lake, please check out our
on-line
lake map. Norfork Lake is a big lake, over 40 miles long, so you
might want to get oriented before your arrival. Detailed fishing maps are
available from most resorts, marinas, and bait & tackle shops. The
BassCat Owners Invitational Tournament takeoff point is between Panther
Bay and Henderson.
Lodging
Stay at one of the Norfork Lake's many
resorts.
The
Norfork Lake Resorts eagerly await your arrival. Our resort owners can
provide you with lake fishing and area maps, direct you to their favorite
fishing hot spots, and provide you with a wealth of local fishing
information. Most resorts have bait and tackle, ice, and grocery
essentials.
Resorts are located throughout the different
areas of Norfork Lake. Many have docks with launch ramps on-site or
nearby. Those that do not have private docks are located near commercial
marinas that rent boat slips and have hard surface launches. Norfork Lake
resort lodging is convenient, friendly and secure.
Staying at a resort that has a fully equipped
kitchen gives you freedom of choice when it comes to mealtime. And if BBQ
is important you, use your resort’s grills. That’s one less thing to
pack!
Experience the Lake Lodging Advantage. It might
be that edge you’re looking for.
Marinas
There are ten
marinas
conveniently located around the lake. You don't need to pull your boat
out and trailer it to a gas station for your fuel needs. Most marinas
carry high performance ethanol free fuel for your outboards. Need a
mechanic? Certified mechanics are available to help solve that unexpected
problem.
Our marina stores carry a wide selection of
boat supplies as well as bait and tackle. While you're stopped for a
refueling check out the souvenirs, grab a cold drink, bag of ice, or
sandwich. You may want to rent a boat slip while you're here. All marinas
have slips available. Make your trip a one launch trip. The
Norfork Lake marinas welcome your visit.
Restaurants
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all available at the Norfork Lake
area
restaurants.
You are not far from that fresh cup of hot
coffee, slice of homemade pie or made to order meal. Our Norfork Lake
restaurants provide that personal attention that just isn't available in
the chain restaurants. You can eat "chain" food when you get home.
Norfork Lake has a variety of restaurant types. Mouth watering steaks or
prime rib, homemade desserts, omelets made the way you want them, pizza,
and sandwiches. You can find a restaurant to suit your mood. Want a
restaurant with a view? Want the comfortable convenience of a roadside
diner? Want a cold beer and game of darts? Try our Norfork Lake Chamber
of Commerce restaurants. Sample our local cuisine. You'll be glad you
did.
Bait &
Tackle Shops
Our
Norfork Lake tackle shops
are great places to pick up that lure you've been wanting to try, get
your Arkansas fishing license, advice on current lake and fishing
conditions, and that fishing tip only those in the fishing business can
give. Get it all near the lake. Maps, ice, propane, groceries, hot coffee
and cold drinks are available without the long lines found in larger
discount and grocery stores. Get in, get out and get what you want. They
open early and close late. Norfork Lake stores are convenient, friendly
and ready to serve you.

Fishing
Norfork Lake
The 2008, 2009, and 2010 spring rains and
subsequent higher water events produced phenomenal spawns of bass and
other Norfork Lake species. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission
predicts that starting with the 2011 season,
fishing
on Norfork Lake
will be incredible for years to come!
