Is Beaver Dam generating right now?
Yes. As of the last satellite report (reported 53 minutes ago), Beaver Dam is generating and releasing water into White River. Expect rising water, strong current, and unsafe wading below the dam.
Planned generation is projected a day ahead by the Southwestern Power Administration, but the schedule can change hour to hour. GaugeKeep shows what the dam is actually doing, decoded from its live telemetry — with megawatt output and turbine flow available on the Guide plan.
About Beaver Lake
Beaver Lake is Northwest Arkansas’ water supply and playground, impounding the White River near Rogers and Eureka Springs. Below the dam, the Beaver tailwater holds trout, and generation controls the bite.
This page is watched by Northwest Arkansas boaters, tailwater trout anglers, striper anglers, and lakeside homeowners. Below the dam is the Beaver tailwater trout fishery below the dam near Eureka Springs.
Beaver Lake area: Rogers, Eureka Springs, Garfield, Gateway, Fayetteville, Springdale. Whether you keep a boat at the marina, own a dock, guide the tailwater, or farm downstream, this is the same live telemetry the dam itself reports.
