Allied Strategic Partners Acquires Prairie Creek Marina

Allied Strategic Partners (ASP), a Dallas-based private asset management firm has purchased Prairie Creek Marina, located on Beaver Lake, in Rogers, Arkansas. As part of the acquisition, Blue Harbor Management, a subsidiary of ASP, will oversee the management and operations of Prairie Creek Marina.

Founded nearly three decades ago by Craig Smith, Prairie Creek Marina has been under the stewardship of the Smith family for over 30 years. What began as a single dock has flourished into a marina with over 750 boat slips, making it a cornerstone of the Northwest Arkansas boating community. The marina is known for fostering deep-rooted connections with its customers and creating a legacy of service.

In addition to its 750 wet slips, Prairie Creek Marina boasts amenities such as 45 jet ski ports, boat rentals, a ship’s store, gas and diesel fuel pumps and a popular floating restaurant. Situated on the western shore of Beaver Lake, the marina is located just five miles from downtown Rogers and is the closest marina to the rapidly growing Northwest Arkansas metro area, offering convenience and accessibility.

This acquisition marks ASP’s second marina purchase within the last 30 days, underscoring their commitment to building a premier portfolio of best-in-class marinas. The ASP and Blue Harbor Management portfolio now encompasses locations across Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Tennessee and Virginia, comprising approximately 3,200 boat slips, 80 RV sites, and 30 cabins.
