The lake has endless camping, boating, and swimming opportunities scattered throughout its 30,000+ acres. For a map of Beaver Lake's many campsites, coves, and bluffs, head to the Corps of Engineers' website.
Because of its unique shape, Beaver Lake has dozens of branches, bluffs, and hollows to explore. The west side of the lake may have the more well-known spots but there's a little cove on the east side that we're focused on today.
