It is noticeably colder and windier on the lake than it is on land. We strongly suggest you dress in layers --- don’t be afraid to bring too much warm clothing. Reservations can be made beginning noon the day before at the lodge front desk, (501) 865-5851. Stop by the lodge to pay (and use the restroom) before heading to the marina with your receipt. Please arrive at the marina 10-15 minutes early so the boat may depart on time.
