White River Flooding

Due to rainfall in North-Central Arkansas over the past 24 hours, many AGFC access areas on the White River (Bull Shoals Tailwater) from Buffalo City downstream are currently underwater (see video of flooding at Norfork Access from today). Estimates of 6-10 inches of rain have been reported in the area and water levels are continuing to rise on the lower White River. During and after this flood, we urge anglers to use extreme caution while boating on the river. While debris from floods is not unusual, we expect it will be even worse given the tornados that affected the area in late May. Large debris, including logs, root wads, and boulders, can be displaced by the flood waters, and the ability to see them will be limited. When the flood waters recede, AGFC will work quickly to address clean up and repairs at access areas. We expect many areas will have piles of debris and/or silt and sand covering the ramps.  Thank you in advance for your patience as we work to address any issues.
