Lake Conway is the largest man-made game and fish commission lake in the United States, spanning an impressive 6,700 acres with 52 miles of shoreline. Located in Faulkner County, about 3 miles south of Conway, Arkansas, this reservoir was built in 1948 by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission - making it the first lake they constructed. With an average depth of 4.5 feet and a maximum depth of 16 feet, Lake Conway features various underwater structures including stumps, buckbrush, cypress trees, log piles, and boat docks that create excellent fish habitat. The lake's bottom consists of mud, rock, and shale, with numerous Lake Creek channels and inundated ponds throughout.
