Bella Vista has 7 golf courses, 12 lighted tennis courts, and 7 lakes! 30,000 acre Beaver Lake is only minutes away and is rated the 3rd best striper lake in the U.S. and 4th best in the world. Boating and canoeing are popular pastimes. Clear water, secluded forests, waterfalls, black bears and limestone bluffs up to 500 feet above the mountain streams are but a few memories you'll treasure the rest of your life.
