Our owners can provide you with lake fishing and area maps, direct you to their favorite fishing hot spots, and provide you with a wealth of local fishing information. Many of our lodging facilities stock ice, grocery essentials, and tackle specific to Norfork Lake, . Lodging facilities are located throughout the different areas of Norfork Lake. Many have docks with launch ramps on-site or nearby. Those that do not are located blocks from commercial marinas that rent boat slips and have hard surface launches. Norfork Lake lodging is convenient, friendly and secure.
Staying at a facility that has a fully equipped kitchen gives you freedom of choice when it comes to mealtime. And if BBQ is important you, most facilities provide grills. That’s one less thing to pack!

Marinas
There are nine marinas conveniently located around the lake. Our marinas carry fresh, high and mid-octane ethanol free marine fuel for your high performance outboards.

Our marina stores carry a wide selection of marine supplies as well as bait and tackle. While you’re stopped for a refueling, check out the souvenirs, grab a cold drink, bag of ice, or sandwich.
