Horseshoe Bend Park on Beaver Lake (Rogers)

Horseshoe Bend Park is one of the largest and most popular Beaver Lake recreation areas — a Corps of Engineers park east of Rogers with a swim beach, two boat ramps, a marina, hiking and biking trails, and a big lakeside campground. It’s a favorite spot for a full day (or weekend) on the water.
