Campground Update

FYI: If you're a frequent camper at Pontiac or are planning to camp anytime soon... our park attendant is on a leave of absence right now, so you might have a difficult time reaching anyone at the local gate house (417-679-2222). The park attendant from Oakland is coming over to manage the gate house from 4 to 6 p.m. daily. If you would like general information on the Pontiac park/campground, call 1-877-444-6777. Or, better yet, call our local Corps project office in Mountain Home, Ark. at 870-425-2700, and ask to speak to the ranger on duty.

Also, the Corps typically charges $3 per day to launch a boat at Pontiac; however, the fees have been waived all summer because of high water conditions. Now that the lake is back to normal pool, the day use fees will resume starting this Saturday, Aug. 15. If you have a slip (short-term or long-term) at the marina, you do not have to pay the fee.

Cheers to a sun-filled weekend coming up!
