Lake-Dardanelle
is a reservoir on the Arkansas River in west-central Arkansas. The town of Russellville lies on the banks of the lake. Lake Dardanelle covers almost 40,000 acres of land, and provides lots of recreational opportunities, including boating, fishing, kayaking, picnicking, birding and camping. The lake extends from Dardanelle Lock and Dam near the village of Dardanelle, into Pope, Yell, Logan, Johnson and Franklin Counties. Lake Dardanelle has 315 miles of shoreline. Each recreational park on Dardanelle has drinking water, picnic tables and toilet facilities. Most also have trailer dump stations, boat launch ramps and electrical sites. The only nuclear power plant in Arkansas is located on the northeastern shore of Lake Dardanelle.A unique feature of the lake in the Russellville main area is an 1,861-square-foot, fishing tournament weigh-in pavilion. The pavilion is a world-class facility and the first of its kind in the nation that serves as a staging area for tournaments. Nearby is a covered, barrier-free fishing pier, a popular facility for bank fishing enthusiasts, sightseers, and photographers because of its sweeping view of lake and 1,350-foot Mount Nebo to the south. Visitors can rent kayaks and there are also guided lake tours by party barge or kayaks. Privately-owned marinas and boat docks are located in both the Russellville and Dardanelle areas. Other nearby attractions include Winthrop Rockefeller Lake, Petit Jean Mountain and the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains all offer spectacular scenery and recreation.
