Little Rock, AR — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has issued an official warning to potential visitors of Beaver Lake, cautioning them about storm debris hazards in the water following last weekend’s severe weather. USACE advises boaters to take extra precautions, as debris may be just below the water surface.
Safety Tips for Boaters:
- Drive slowly to avoid hitting submerged debris.
- Always wear life jackets for safety.
- Use depth finders to detect underwater hazards.
- Maintain a safe distance from the shoreline to avoid hidden debris.
