LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Little Rock District is closing  visitor centers to aid the nation’s efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19, also referred  to as the Corona Virus. 

Effective immediately, Table Rock Lake’s Dewey Short Visitor Center, Greers Ferry Lake’s William Carl Garner Visitor Center, and the River Valley Visitor Center located at the Russellville Site Office are closed.
