Thread: Old Town lake

I'm not sure I will be there weekend after next, but I'm aiming at it. I'll try to look for y'all. I normally keep my cell phone in my truck, but I'll try to remember to take it with me. # is 870-307-2257.

I'm not bringing in a camper. Where to stay? I've generally stayed at that motel at Helena on the west end of town. Is there a better place?

I have stayed there at the motel in west Helena and had no problems. I always cleaned out my boat and brought it all in the room with me though. We generally stay at Maddox Bay which is on the White River Reserve. It is about 30 to 40 minutes away and West helena is about 20 minutes I would guess. Google Lawrenceville, Ar and you can see a map. They have a bait shop/store/resturaunt and about 6 cabins plus places for RV and campers with full hookups. Cabins are $55 or $60 a night. We have never had any problem there and know the owners well. You can be comfortable with leaving your stuff out. We prefer this place because of the lack of theft as well as having Maddox Bay right ther which gives us access to another set of lakes (Pryor, Kansas etc) just in case Old Town does not turn out. It is about 25 miles west of Old Town lake. Plus more room. If you would like to stay there I will giveyou the number.

A relative of mines went you Old Town yesterday around 4pm and stayed til dark hit. He ended up with 37 crappie. Says they were biting all over the lake. Hopefully this rain will break.
