River Conditions
This portion of the Maumelle River usually is a flat-water float. However, heavy rain and high water can create dangerous conditions. Paddlers may explore upstream into Bringle Creek and the Maumelle River (rocky riffles and downed trees eventually block the route) and downstream to the Arkansas Highway 10 bridge. Canoes and kayaks may be used only in the area of the lake west of the Arkansas Highway 10 bridge.

History
Lake Maumelle is the source of drinking water for almost 500,000 people in Little Rock and surrounding cities – about a sixth of the state’s population. The Maumelle River was dammed in 1958 to create the reservoir and supply water to the greater Little Rock area. Central Arkansas Water owns the 8,900-acre lake and thousands of acres of forestland around it.
