Boating Safely This Labor Day | Little Rock News

Labor Day weekend means more boaters on Arkansas waterways — and that means extra caution. With heat, alcohol, and longer trips adding up to risky conditions, officials are urging everyone to check the weather, have life jackets for all, and designate a sober operator. Boating isn’t just like driving — it’s serious, with steep penalties for impaired operation. As river traffic swells with kayakers, paddleboarders, and shore fishermen, slow down, stay alert, and be patient with newcomers. Safety starts with preparation, respect, and staying sober behind the wheel — so you can enjoy the water and get home safely.
