Norfork lake Arkansas near Mountain Home in the ozarks Mountains Region Fishing Report and lake Condition by Scuba Steve from Blackburns Resort and Boat Rental.

The lake level is 554.87 and has risen 8-inches in the last 24-hours with no generation for three days. We received a total of 3.6 inches of rain the last 3-days. Bryant Creek at Tecumseh is now starting to drop but the lake will rise more if they do not start letting some water out of Norfork and they have shown no inclination to do this and probably will not until they let it rise to the top of the power pool which is 556.75 now. They keep changing it.  It is 553.75 most of the year. The White River at Newport is 14.68 and rising and is as high as it has been for several months. The surface water is now 80-degrees with the rain mixing in whith the lake water. The brown water from the runoff is clearing already in the backs of the creeks. Ovarall the lake is in excellent condition and at a good level for fishing, boating and swimming and Blackburns Resort and Boat Rental is in good condition for a family vacation or fishing trip. There will be no price increases for 2026 and we continue to have the best resort with the best prices on both cabins and boat rentals in the Ozarks.
