Lake Dardanelle covers nearly 40,000 acres of land, which provides lots of area for boating, fishing, picnicking, camping, and scenic views. Winthrop Rockefeller Lake starts right below the Dardanelle Dam and extends almost 30 miles (50 km) southeast to the Arthur V. Ormond Lock and Dam. These lakes have been popular to fishermen because of their large supply of catfish, white bass, bream, crappie, and other species of bass.
