Lake Atalanta is a reservoir along Prairie Creek in Rogers, Arkansas, used primarily for recreation, built in 1936 by the Works Progress Administration.[1] The lake is named for Atalanta Gregory, the wife of O.L. Gregory, who donated most of the land that now forms the lake.[2] Lake Atalanta Dam is earthen with rock fill, and is 43 feet (13 m) tall and 910 feet (280 m) long.[1]
