🐢 Albino sea turtles are exceptionally rare, and their bright appearance makes survival even harder from the moment they hatch.

Without normal pigmentation, they stand out against the sand and water, leaving them far more exposed to predators during their journey to the ocean.

🌊 Greers Ferry Lake Weekend Update –

August 1-2

Good morning, lake lovers!
Here’s everything you need to know to plan a great weekend on the water.

🌊 Current Lake Conditions (as of this morning):
• Water level: ~461.1 ft (about 1.4 ft below summer full pool of 462.54 ft)
• Surface water temperature: 81°F
• Generation has been light the last couple of days (mostly minimal outflow with occasional afternoon runs), so lake levels are holding steady and the Little Red River below the dam is fishing well early and late.

Weekend Weather:
☀️ Saturday – Sunny • High 85° • Low 71° • NW winds 5–10 mph
⛅ Sunday – Mostly sunny/partly cloudy • High 85° • Low 69°
Comfortable temperatures and light winds — excellent conditions for boating, skiing, swimming, and fishing.
‼️Just watch out for a stray pop-up showers or thunderstorms.

Sun Times (approx.):
• Saturday: Sunrise ~6:17 AM • Sunset ~8:14 PM
• Sunday: Sunrise ~6:18 AM • Sunset ~8:13 PM

🚤 Boat Ramp Check – Help us out!
At this water level most ramps should be in good shape. Please drop a quick comment with the ramp name and current conditions (parking, congestion, soft spots, debris, etc.).

Especially looking for updates on:
• The Narrows
• Heber Springs / JFK
• Dam Site
• Devils Fork
• Sugar Loaf
• Cove Creek
• Choctaw

💡 Did You Know?
President John F. Kennedy personally dedicated Greers Ferry Dam on October 3, 1963 — just six weeks before his assassination. It was one of the last major public appearances he ever made.

🐟 Whether you’re chasing bass on the main lake, trout on the Little Red, or just floating and enjoying the views — conditions look really nice.

☀️ Have a safe and fun weekend! Life jackets on, sunscreen ready, and share your photos and reports in the comments.

‼️GET OFF THE WATER ALERT ‼️
There’s a strong line of storms heading right toward Greers Ferry Lake. Up to 50 mph wind gusts and pea-sized hail is expected with these storms. Cloud to ground lightning is also expected.

Get somewhere safe before you get stuck out in it! And never try to out run a storm while on the water!
