About Greers Ferry Lake
Greers Ferry Lake was created in 1962 when the Corps of Engineers finished Greers Ferry Dam on the Little Red River in the Arkansas Ozarks, about 31,500 acres with a maximum depth near 200 feet. President Kennedy dedicated the dam at Heber Springs on October 3, 1963, one of his last public appearances before his assassination in Dallas seven weeks later. The lake's cold releases feed a blue-ribbon trout fishery on the Little Red below the dam, and Fairfield Bay and Heber Springs are its main towns.

Greers Ferry Lake depth chart, in wood
This is a Greers Ferry Lake depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 27 ft, 53 ft, 80 ft, 107 ft, 133 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 160 ft. The lake covers about 50.4 square miles, and 2783 shore roads are engraved around it. The shape of the bottom is the real one from published soundings, so anglers recognise their drop-offs and points.
A Greers Ferry Lake map for the wall — or a gift
Most of these go to a cabin wall, a lake house entry, or a home office; a lot are gifts — the family that has been on Greers Ferry Lake for three generations, the retirement move, the first boat. The 12-inch is the desk-and-shelf size; the 24- and 30-inch boards read across a room. Add a line under the title and star your place on the shore, and it becomes the map of your Greers Ferry Lake.
Greers Ferry Lake map — the details
How big is the map?
Four sizes: 12, 17, 24 and 30 inches on the long side, from $149. Every size is cut from the same depth data of Greers Ferry Lake; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Greers Ferry Lake is cut layer by layer from published bathymetric soundings — each layer of birch is a depth contour, so the shape of the bottom is the real one, not decorative.
Can I add my own place on it?
Yes. At checkout you can add a line under the title (a family name, a cabin name, a year) and star the spot on the shore that matters to you.
How long does it take?
Made to order in Waterford, Pennsylvania and shipped in 7–10 days; shipping is free in the lower 48.
Can you make a lake that isn't listed?
Any lake in the United States — we hold depth data for 104,419 of them. Search for yours; if it isn't built yet we build it when you order.
