Fourth of July is a great time to get out and enjoy the lake, but Entergy Arkansas advises the public to be extra cautious throughout the holiday weekend. After heavy rains, it is common for there to be an increased amount of floating debris, including logs, brush, decaying boat docks and trash. Recent heavy rains have washed a substantial amount of debris into the lakes, so we advise boaters to watch for hazards. Those not familiar with the area should be extra-cautious when boating or swimming in the lakes.
