HSV Paddlers Club Host Incredible Event!

Submitted by on

Hot Springs Village POA and the HSV Paddlers Club are hosting an exciting event on June 13, 2026. The event will be held at the Lake Balboa Kayak Launch. There will be dedicated areas for boat assembly, completed boats, and, of course, friends and family for that moral support. These two groups are asking for local groups, organizations, and individuals to assemble teams to compete in a Cardboard Boat Derby. The object of the derby is to be able to make a boat that can stay afloat long enough to complete a charted course the quickest way possible. Seems simple enough!

Did you have a real fresh-cut Christmas tree this holiday season? Well, once you decide to part ways with it, consider donating it to the Hot Springs Village POA Lakes department, where they will use it to better the local lakes. The team will sink the trees in the lakes, providing a beneficial habitat for fish that are bait for attractive sport fish species. The trees will also provide food for zooplankton, feeding aquatic invertebrates.

They found that there is a presence of microcystin, which is a toxin that is often present in HAB situations. This toxin can be harmful to people and pets who are exposed to it.
