The Little Rock District wants you to know that many of its recreation and day-use areas are still open.

While our campgrounds are closed to ensure the safety of our guests and staff, many of our day-use recreation areas remain available for use. Because we know you all have favorite, we've put together a page that includes each of our lake or river locations with a full break down of each area, and what is open and available.

So it's still possible to visit, and fish, or boat, or hike or mountain bike (or play disc golf!) - just make sure to stay safe, and to follow good social distancing practices.

Keep in mind that while we're currently open, the situation around COVID-19 can change at any time. Before traveling long distances it's always best to contact the project office of the area you want to visit to make sure nothing has changed.
