Ouachita Float Camps Closed To Camping

[cj5752]

Read in the paper today that Shirley Creek, Rocky Shoals, Fulton Branch, Dragover, and River Bluff on the Ouachita are closed to overnight camping starting today. It is to give the Forest Service time to evaluate potential flood danger. Shame they couldn't do it over the winter. It shouldn't take a govt agency over 9 years to do an evaluation.

That doesn't sound good at all. Did they give any indication as when (or if) they'd reopen?

Well dang! Was gonna hit the drag over if we got enough rain this week. We were gonna camp for 3 days also. Is there any info on how long the gov. Is closing it for? Or a link to to this info?
Thanks
