Greers Ferry Lake covers 31,500 acres in Arkansas and drops to 180 feet at its deepest point. It is a reservoir impounded in 1962 and managed by USACE. Short-term rental posture: Allowed; county rules. Confirm at the municipal level before underwriting rental income.
Each axis is computed by published formula from this lake's own attributes. How we score.
Computed from measured clarity, trophic state, and drawdown magnitude — not an opinion. See the formula.
Weighted: water 26% · recreation 22% · investment 20% · value 18% · access 14%.
Daily values from USGS. Loading up to one year.
The dock sits at full-pool elevation. At low pool the waterline retreats and the reach to navigable water changes. Scale is illustrative; the 12 ft figure is from published operations for this lake.
Idealized cross-section. Max depth 180 ft, average 58 ft. Depth at a specific dock depends on local bathymetry — verify at the property.

Smallmouth and walleye both fish well. Water clarity has held up over the fifteen years we have been here, which I credit to the watershed protections.
Prices here are meaningfully lower than the lake an hour north for water that is nearly as clear. Fewer restaurants and services, which is the tradeoff.
