Description
A photo taken by Nava Thompson of 'Gloria' at Bella Vista Lake in NW Arkansas. She was with the Ozark Art Club on a beautiful day in July. The artists were scattered all around the lake painting. It was a wonderful scene. I was drawn to 'Gloria' because of her straw hat, red and blue bandana, the scene in view that she was painting. We chatted for a moment---and I sent her this photo to have. I also sent it to our local TV station since they sometimes feature my work and might be interested in how some were choosing to spend their day---during a 'perfect' day.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Bella Vista has seven lakes. These lakes are not "public" in that only members of the community or their guests are permitted to use them. Lake Ann, Lake Windsor, and Lake Loch Lomond are the largest all-sports lakes in the town. Lake Avalon, Lake Norwood, and Lake Rayburn are primarily fishing lakes with "no wake" restrictions. Current POA boat permits are required as are Arkansas fishing licenses, when fishing Bella Vista lakes.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Lake Ann is an all-water sport lake with 112.5 acres (0.455 km2) of surface area. Because it is 53.5 feet (16.3 m) deep with no power limit, water skiing is allowed on Lake Ann.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Lake Windsor is the second largest of the lakes, covering 220 acres (0.89 km2) with a maximum depth of 79.5 feet (24.2 m). Lake Windsor is also an unlimited power lake, and water skiing is allowed.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Loch Lomond is the largest of all the lakes in the city. It is 80 feet (24 m) deep and covers 477 acres (1.93 km2). There is no power limit, skiing is allowed, and boat rental is offered........................................Lake Avalon is a limited-power lake that features an enclosed, heated fishing dock located off Tamworth Circle.
