Adam's Take
"Heading east on Highway 12 from downtown Rogers feels like driving through a portal. Nowhere else is the lake vibe so tangible. The only people you'll find are those who could not bear to leave the windswept blue expanse of Beaver Lake (and those who long to join them)."

Questions buyers ask about Prairie Creek
Can you build a private boat dock on Beaver Lake?
No new private docks can be added on Beaver Lake. The Corps of Engineers stopped taking new dock and marina slip requests in 2020. If you want your own dock, buy a home that already has a permitted one. A dock permit does not pass automatically with the deed, so ask the Corps about the transfer early in the deal. Many homes use a community dock or a marina slip instead.
