A Bolt of History

Arkansas is well known for its numerous, exquisite lakes, each of which has a distinct personality and flavor. Among the numerous major lakes present here are the Diamond Lakes of Southwest Arkansas, a group of five lakes. One of those five places is Lake Catherine. This 1,940-acre lake is one of the most popular in the state for recreational and residential uses. It is in a prime location on the southern outskirts of Hot Springs. To produce energy, the Arkansas Power & Light Co. (now Entergy) built Remmel Dam in the 1920’s. The engineers for the armed forces finished the gigantic structure. It started off as a way to boost hydroelectricity for the area, but now is more of a recreational area for Lake Catherine.

Fishing and Recreation 

The fish in Lake Catherine are redfish, trout, sheepshead, flounder, triple tail, bass, catfish, and monster gar. You can fish in their auxiliary creeks too which will have some fun options for our favorite aquatic friends too. Winter and fall are the best times to fish at this lake.
