Bidwell Point Use Area

Bidwell Point Park offers a well-developed access point to Norfork Lake with a boat launching ramp, swimming beach, and 49 campsites (most with water and 50-amp electric hookups).

The park features shaded picnic areas, a group shelter accommodating up to 200 guests, playgrounds, flush toilets, showers, and a sanitary dump station, making it ideal for both day-use and overnight stays.

Open April 1–September 30, the park is located just north of the AR 101 bridge near Gamaliel and provides scenic lake views nestled among Arkansas pines and hardwoods.
