The dam was built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to control floods and produce hydroelectric power and was the last project to be built on the White River. Commercial power generation began in May 1965, although the project was not officially completed until 1966. As a result, tail water flows about 7.5 miles through northwest Arkansas before entering Table Lake Rock. Cold water releases from the Beaver Dam created a habitat that was less suitable for local sport fish. Trout stockings began in 1966 to mitigate losses. Management Plan In 2005, the AGFC Trout Management Program developed a comprehensive tail water management plan. The plan set out specific objectives and objectives that govern fisheries management. Intensive public participation is central to ensuring that the desires and expectations of the public are translated into fishing. The plan was revised in 2011 to determine whether management objectives had been achieved and to ensure that the objectives of the plan continued to be in line with public values and interests. The current management plan is effective for 2012- 2017, and the Trout Management Program intends to reintroduce the plan at the end of this five-year-old.
