A VERY popular dive site. Boat ramp provides very easy access, without fighting uneven rocks and boulders.

Left/North of the ramp is Beaver Lake SCUBA Park with several artifacts and objects; multiple cars, multiple boats, airplane, statutes, etc. Easily navigated via guide line, or 360’/180’ compass headings. Average depth 25-50ft.

Diagonal-Right/Southeast of ramp is a compass course used for UW Navigation. Artifacts and objects include boats. Average depth 25-60ft.

Right/South of the ramp is the Beaver Lake Bluffs. This is a series of stair steps in the UW mountain side. They continue to depths 100+ and feature an UW forrest.

Been there twice. Great place.

It's just outside Eureka Springs, about 2 1/2 hrs south of me. It's a great way to spend a Saturday. I logged about 30-ish dives there last summer, about every other wkend. I'm still planning on going in a few weeks. But, w/ gas at 4.00/gallon I may drop back to once a month.

What kind of temps were you encountering at various depths/thermoclines,?

 

[Rukkian]

It is like 6 hours for me, so needs to be planned out a bit. Did my tec sm tagging there last fall

Agree, it is a fun place to dive. I plan to make some trips down that way in the next month or so.

I dove the bluffs on Monday. Water temp at 75 feet was 58°, vis was 20 feet or so in most places with a few murky spots.
