Corps Issues Small Craft Advisory For River

All pleasure boaters are urged to stay off the river until flows recede below 70,000 cfs.

Daily river information can be obtained on the Internet at www.swl-wc.usace.army.mil.

In addition to the river, high water levels are reported at nine lakes in the Corps' Little Rock district: Beaver, Table Rock, Bull Shoals, Norfork, Greers Ferry, Clearwater, Blue Mountain, Nimrod and Dierks.

According to the release, boaters and anglers should use extra caution on the lakes, and to wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket no matter how high the water.

Operators of motorboats are advised to use the boat's kill switch and slow down to watch for submerged debris.

Near shorelines or in coves, boaters should go slow to avoid underwater objects such as signposts, picnic tables and tree stumps that are normally visible on dry ground.

Skip the alcohol, the release states, because more than half of all people who drown consume alcohol before their accident.

The Corps also advises boaters to file a float plan with a friend before they set out on the water.

Arkansas Big Bass Bonanza » CORPS LIFTS SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY ON ...

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The Army Corps of Engineers has lifted the small craft advisory on the Arkansas River.

Before setting out in a pleasure craft, always check flow conditions. Corps officials urge boaters to always use caution on the river. Wear a life jacket, and never operate a boat while intoxicated. Give commercial towboats an extra wide berth for safety’s sake. They are heavier than freight trains and not nearly as maneuverable as pleasure boats. It can take a towboat more than a half mile to stop.

Advisories are issued when flows reach 70,000 cubic feet per second. Currents become swifter and stronger, and large debris is carried downstream.
