LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is reminding everyone to practice good water safety habits over the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.
“Memorial Day is one of the busiest weekends on the water across the region,” said U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Little Rock District Construction Safety Manager, Bill Rayner.
“We’re asking visitors to be patient and courteous at boat launch ramps and to slow down and watch out for other boaters on the water.”
Due to staffing shortages, visitors may experience delays in service requests and general operations. USACE appreciates your patience and cooperation during this time and kindly asks for your help in keeping the parks and facilities clean and safe for everyone.
Please remember to wear your life jacket, don’t drink alcoholic beverages and operate a boat, never swim alone, stick to designated swim areas and check river and lake levels before heading out.
Daily river and lake information is available through the USACE Little Rock Water Level Mobile App, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play by searching 'USACE Little Rock.'
