HEBER SPRINGS, Ark. -- HEBER SPRINGS, Ark. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is cautioning boaters about low water conditions at Greers Ferry Lake.
With inflows being low, the lake level is currently around an elevation of 456 feet. Although low, this is within the normal operation of the reservoir.
Officials urge boaters to take extra safety measures as some areas may include underwater obstacles such as land points, tree stumps, rock formations and standing timber.
Boaters should slow down, wear life jackets, use depth finders or other navigation resources, give the shoreline a wide birth and be especially careful at night.
Although most parks offer multiple launch ramps, some individual ramps may be closed. Current partial ramp closures are located at Cove Creek, Devils Fork and Sugar Loaf Parks.
The ramp at Old Highway 25 road end is closed and boaters should utilize the ramp located inside the campground. When launching boats, only use the corrugated portion of the launch ramp.
Information on water levels can be found on the Little Rock District website at www.swl.usace.army.mil by clicking on the water level button or by using the district smartphone app that can be found by searching “USACE Little Rock” in all major app stores.
