get lost? Lost in your own little world, be invisible if only for a second, or a minute, or possibly a weekend? To have true peace. True quiet. To perhaps go back in time before cell phones, before social media, before the internet, and just relax on a two dollar floatie - letting the gentle movement of the waves rock you to sleep.

History
look to the future The magnificent Greers Ferry Dam and Lake were developed to abate the critical need for flood control. Named after William V. “Bud” Greer who ran his ferry during the 1800s, the dam’s dedication and opening were celebrated on October 3, 1963 with more than 10,000 Arkansans present to hear President John F. Kennedy proclaim, “It serves as an example to the rest of the country of what we want to do to make it possible for those who come after us to have a better life.”
