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.
Have you ever thought about what it would be like to paddle a boat made of cardboard and duct tape around Lake Balboa? Well, now is your chance!! On July 27th, at the Lake Balboa-Kayak Launch, the Hot Springs Village POA Parks and Recreation Department and the HSV Paddlers Club will host a Carboard Boat Derby (Challenge). Boat building will occur from 9 a.m. to approximately 10:40 a.m. with the timed boat challenges starting at 11 a.m.
