About Prairie Creek
Prairie Creek is a census-designated place (CDP) in Benton County on the west shore of Beaver Lake, just east of Rogers. With a 2020 census population of 2,217, it is a lakefront residential community rather than an incorporated town: most residents commute into Rogers and the rest of Northwest Arkansas while living minutes from the water. The community's identity centers on the lake — the Prairie Creek Marina (500+ boat slips) and the adjacent U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Prairie Creek Park with campgrounds, boat launch, swimming areas, and trails (per Wikipedia and USACE, read September 24, 2026).
