West-central Washington County, 2 miles west of Prairie Grove.
At various times, you'll hear this small west Arkansas lake called Bobb Kidd, Budd Kidd and Bad Kidd. Local historians have settled the dispute once and for all. Robert "Bob" Kidd once had a home here, and the lake and the creek it was built on are named for him. The impoundment's proper name is "Lake Bob Kidd".
Lake Bob Kidd's claim to fame is bluegills, crappies, redears, largemouth bass and channel catfish. These popular sportfish are found in good numbers and whopping sizes. Fish are found throughout this small lake, but some places seem to produce more consistently than others. Jumbo bream, bass and catfish are often caught on the flat berm out from the dam, and the timber along the creek channel paralleling the south shore is a good spot to catch all these species and crappies, too. A very large oak tree on the south shore near the dam, directly across the lake from the boat ramp, is especially popular with bluegill and crappie anglers. Bankfishermen frequent the north shore timber stands and the riprap along the dam.
