September ACC Rendezvous on Lake Catherine and Ouachita River near Hot Springs and Malvern

  ACC Board of Directors normally meet times per year. All ACC members are welcome to attend. Locations, times, and agenda vary, but in general:

• February meeting is to plan whitewater school on the Mulberry River
• General Business meeting and election of officers is first weekend of May at Whitewater School
• July meeting is to plan Rendezvous at Camp Couchdale
• November meeting meeting typically focuses conversation issues

As a public service to the recreational users of Lakes Hamilton and Catherine and the Ouachita River below Remmel Dam, Entergy Hydro Operations periodically issues an e-mail of the current operational plans for Carpenter and Remmel Dams. This short e-mail provides general guidance on when we plan to release water from the dams, which affects both the levels of the river below the dams and, to a lesser extent, the levels of the lakes. This information can be useful in planning recreational outings for fishing and floating downstream. This e-mail is typically issued once each week or more often if conditions change (less often if conditions have not changed)..

River trips should be regarded as a common adventure by all participants. Participants share the responsibility for the conduct of the trip, and each participant is individually responsible for judging his or her own capabilities and for his or her own safety as the trip progresses. In other words, no person is responsible for the safety of other persons on the trip. Participants are encouraged, but not obligated, to offer advice and guidance for the independent consideration and judgment of others .

Despite the mutually supportive group structure of club trips, individual paddlers are ultimately responsible for their own safety, and must assume sole responsibility for:

• The decision to participate and evaluate the expected difficulty of the rapids.
• The selection of an appropriate boat and other equipment.
• The decision to scout, run, portage, or take-out according to their best judgment.
• Consistently evaluating their own and their group's safety.
