 UPDATE - SHOALING REPORTED BETWEEN NM 23.1 AND NM 24.6

MCCLELLAN-KERR ARKANSAS RIVER NAVIGATION SYSTEM

Mariners are now reporting that they are favoring the center line between Navigation Mile (NM) 23.1 (Cooks Point Light) and NM 24.6 (upstream of Ross Ferry Light) due to shoaling in the area.  Mariners are advised to continue using caution in this area.  Due to high flows, the Corps of Engineers has not surveyed this area and cannot verify either channel depths or sailing instructions.

This Navigation Notice will be updated as more information becomes available.  Questions or requests for additional information concerning this notice should be directed to the Little Rock District Office, at (501) 324-5739 or you may email CESWL-OP-OM@usace.army.mil.
