Lookout in low water: The Army Corps of Engineers advises boaters to use caution while navigating on Beaver, Table Rock and other corps reservoirs because of low water levels. While the levels are low, they are still within the operating parameters of the lakes for power generation. Low water may expose timber, rock and other obstructions.
