Lake Norrell is a 280-acre reservoir located in Saline County, Arkansas, about 35 minutes west of Little Rock. The lake provides a variety of recreational opportunities, including boating, fishing, and scuba diving.
For paddlers and small boaters, there is a public boat ramp located on the lake. The ramp provides access to the 12-mile shoreline and the lake's calm, flat waters, making it a suitable option for kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats. However, it's important to note that the city of Benton, which owns the lake, has been considering restricting public access, so paddlers and boaters should check for any updates before visiting.
The lake was originally created as a drinking water supply for the city of Benton, and it continues to serve that purpose. While the water quality and conditions are generally good for recreational use, paddlers and boaters should be aware of any potential restrictions or regulations in place to protect the lake's primary function as a water supply.
