This is one of the few places in the country where it’s possible to fish for largemouth bass, white bass hybrids, walleye and trout all in the same day.

You might even land a trophy if you fish long enough. After all, Greers Ferry Lake still holds the world record for walleye and hybrid striper. And that big old German brown trout caught on the Little Red River held the record for nearly twenty years. Splash and swim in sun-kissed Greers Ferry Lake.

Boaters, sail boaters, water-skiers, house boaters, scuba divers and the party barge folks all get along because they seldom cross paths in this 40,000-acre expanse of sparkling clear water.
