Beaver Lake is a 30,000-acre lake with 480 miles of shoreline. Bass, Walleye, Catfish and Sunfish are some of the species to be found in the lake. Important first tip: GET HERE. We shamelessly flaunt our lakeside rental as the perfect place to be when you launch your fishing expedition. Once you have arrived: BOOK A TRIP WITH A FISHING GUIDE He/she knows all of the secret spots where your particular species likes to hang out. There's a good chance you'll have a big fish wiggling on the end of your line before the day is over. Or: TAKE ONE OF OUR DOCKSIDE KAYAKS OR PADDLE BOAT OUT If you're an experienced angler or just want to relax and enjoy the serenity of stunning visuals and gently lapping water, either cast a line from the dock or paddle around to find your own secret spot. NEXT: COOK AND EAT Our well appointed accommodations offers a BBQ grill on each outside porch, as well as Ivan Of The Ozarks BBQ Rub (click for recipes) stashed in a cupboard.
However you choose to play when you break away from the business of everyday living, Beaver Lake is a picture-perfect destination.

Native American lore considers the Red Cardinal as a symbol of monogamy, romance and song. The males and females sing duets to each other. The number 12 is also associated with the cardinal as they are seen during all 12 months of the year. If you encounter one expect good luck to follow in 12 hours, 12 days, or at noon or midnight.
Legend has it that fairies adore squirrels. It is said that they ride on their backs racing though the forest. A sighting can be a reminder to be playful, seek magic, spread happiness and to save a cache of nuts for a rainy day. The White Squirrel blends with the snow in the Ozarks, good camouflage for foraging to replenish their winter storage. We sighted both of these extraordinary creatures of myth and lore at Beaver Lake Haven this winter. Come and store up your own magic, romance, happiness and good fortune for the new year. May light and love shine on you and your families.
It is said that a Cherokee warrior called, War Eagle was killed while trying to rescue his love. Their story is forever memorialized by the naming of the river he crossed that runs from deep in the Ozark Mountains to Beaver Lake.
Sixty years ago, an enterprising woman, Blanche Elliot started the first artisan and craft fair, called War Eagle. Now, it is sponsored by the Ozark Arts and Crafts Fair Association and is nationally recognized. Many exhibitors have revived traditional arts and crafts that were in danger of extinction, their wares limited to the Ozark region. Once hosted by Blanche in her living room, it is now on the banks of the War Eagle River and is attended by over 100,000 people each year. The War Eagle Craft Fair is on October 18 - 20, 2018. Admission is free. Beaver Lake Haven, can be where you begin your own enduring traditions. The drive from to the fair is only 51 minutes through scenic wooded hills and the river valley. The truss bridge that you cross, also known as the War Eagle Bridge, is on the National Register of Historic Places.
