Lake Norfork (8) Chloe Reese

Lake Norfork is a lake in North central Arkansas. This lake reaches 22,000 to 30,700 acres in distance and about one hundred and seventy-seven feet deep. Norfork is also said to have depth that no one has been able to reach. This is great information considering I visited in a couple of weeks ago. My family and I went to lake Norfork and met some of our friends. This was mine and my sisters first time visiting there. We started the day out by heading to Norfork. My mother wasn't exactly sure how to get there, so instead of going through hardy we put it in google maps. The map took us an hour out of the way. It felt like we took a trip around the state. So when we finally got there we met with our friends on their pontoon. There was about ten of us that fit on there including two little kids. We went on the pontoon to a sand island. We swam there for half the day until around five o'clock. We swam and watched people ride sea-doos and some of our friends rode them too. Then we ate sandwiches on the boat after we swam. Then we finally decided to leave and go to a cove to swim. We drove there and swam off of the boat. We swam there the rest of the day until about  eight o'clock. Then we went to our campsite where our friends had a camper. My family set up our tent next to them. Then we had some of the neighbor kids bring loads of food over. They had cooked Barbeque, corn, potatoes, ribs, pork chops, and hotdogs. Then when we got done eating we decided to all play a game. We had to move all the great food that was left off the table and set up chairs around it. The table was under a lighted canopy. So we decided to play spoons. So we played about ten rounds. We then wanted a snack so we roasted s'mores over the fire. Then we got full and around twelve we all decide to go to bed. Then we had to leave the next morning, but I can't wait to got back to lake Norfork.

  1. I absolutely love Lake Norfork! My family never went either until about five years ago. My grandpa built a house for us so now we go every summer. My favorite thing to do is tube behind the ski boat. We also usually park our pontoon in a cove and just float around. I like to kayak around the lake, too. I think food is always better at the lake. No matter what you cook, it is just better. I'm glad you and your family had a good time at the lake! Maybe it won't be too long until you go back! -Hattie

  2. Lake Norfork is my favorite. My family and I go almost every weekend! We've been going since I was probably in the 4th grade. I've been to sand island before and it's so cool. The best part about the lake for me is tubing behind the speed boat, staying out on the lake all day and cooking on the grill, and just spending time with friends and family. Anyway, I'm really glad that you had a good time at the lake and I hope you get to go again soon.
