Bella-Vista
is located in the northernmost corner of Arkansas's Benton County. It sits on the Springfield Plateau of the Ozark Mountains. Bella Vista has seen a population boom in recent years, with a 60% growth spurt between the 2000 and 2010 censuses. It was first established in 1965 as a summer resort town and has evolved into a beautiful retirement community. The city of around 26,000 incorporated in 2007. Bella Vista is home to seven lakes; these lakes are not open to the public, but only to members of the community and their guests. Loch Lomond is the largest of the lakes at 80 feet deep and covering 477 acres. Boat rentals are available at Loch Lomond and water-skiing is allowed. Lake Ann is a water-sports lake. Due to its 53.5-feet-deep water, with no power limit, water skiing is also allowed on Lake Ann. Lake Windsor is the second largest of the lakes, covering 220 acres and is another unlimited power lake, where water-skiing is allowed. Lake Avalon, Lake Brittany, Lake Rayburn and Lake Norwood are limited-power lakes, and water-skiing is not allowed, but boating, fishing and launch ramps are available at all lakes. Lake Rayburn also features a designated swimming area. There's also a 1.8 mile-long lakeside walking-biking trail in Bella Vista, and another walking trail in the center of the village with a footbridge and waterfalls. Several golf courses are located in town, including full 18-hole courses, a 9-hole course and two putt-putt courses. Some people actually retire to Bella Vista especially for the golf courses. Four of them include fine restaurants on the grounds, clubhouses and golf pro shops.
