About Lake Hamilton

Supreme Destination of Central Arkansas

Lake Hamilton is a unique recreational destination in the Hot Springs Metropolitan area.

The downtown atmosphere is just a skip away, including the National Park Medical Center, Memorial Field Airport, Walmart, hotels, and attractions. Little Rock is around an hour away.

A Well-Populated Lake

The Carpenter Dam created lake Hamilton on the Ouachita River in 1932. The lake runs for 18 miles and has a surface area of 7,200 acres. The 200 miles of shoreline has many unique inlets and coves. There is a lot to see around the shore, nearly filled with homes, restaurants, and resorts.

Feel Like Every Day is a Vacation

Everyone will find their place at Lake Hamilton: boating, swimming, water skiing, tubing, wave running, sailing, or kayaking.

Lake Hamilton fishers have opportunities to catch smallmouth, striped, spotted, and white bass, crappie, catfish, and pickerel. The lake is managed by the Game & Fish Commission, so it has hosted multiple fishing tournaments and will continue to host many more.

The lake is home to three islands with Electric Island being a hit location where you can hike woods of pine, oak, and hickory with chances to see raccoons, armadillos, woodpeckers, or even a bald eagle if you are lucky.

Firework Celebrations and Fun Opportunities

Memorial Day and Independence Day are events you cannot miss at Lake Hamilton, boats fill the lake in celebration and hang around for the music-synced firework displays.

Garvan Woodland Gardens is an impressive 210-acre botanical garden that overtakes a peninsula of the lake that can be accessed by boat or car.

Take an evening boat ride to your new favorite restaurant; there are quite a few around the lakeshore with a place for you to dock your boat. For a city-goer, the Hot Springs Mall, Hot Springs Cinema, Oaklawn Racing Casino, or Magic Springs Amusement Park just minutes away.
