Park History

Lake Wilson Park is comprised of approximately 320 acres of land with 28 acres of water. The lake was constructed as Fayetteville’s original water supply reservoir. The city stopped using it as a water supply in the 1960s when Beaver Water District became the primary source of water for Northwest Arkansas.

Park users can experience boating, fishing, nature watching, picnicking and hiking. The park is also an off-leash dog park with both sunny and shady places for pets to enjoy. The nature trail runs almost entirely through the woods with views of the lake and ancient rock formations. There are also lots of beautiful wildflowers in the spring!
