Norfork,
with 22,000 surface acres of turquoise water to explore, has ample
room for boaters, skiers, and fishermen to enjoy their activities.
Twenty-four launch ramps provide access to all areas of the lake.
Some ramps require a day use fee including Robinson Point, Cranfield,
Quarry, Jordan, Henderson, Panther Bay, Bidwell Point, and Gamaliel.
At these ramps, users may pay a $3 daily fee or purchase a $30 annual
pass. Free launching ramps are located at Pigeon Creek, Calamity
Beach, Tecumseh, Udall, Red Bank, Talbert, Woods Point, Hand Cove,
Bridges Creek, Tracy, and Georges Cove, Buzzard Roost. Fuel, supplies,
and services are available at 10 marinas operated by private concessionaires.
No boats may enter within 100 yards of the dam, either upstream
(lake) or downstream (river).
