Hot Springs Village is conducting its Annual Boat Decal Check to ensure that all boats launched into the lakes have up-to-date decals. Each boat, whether in the water, out on the water, or just stored, requires a current decal. It doesn't matter if the boat is in use or not; it does require a decal. If you do not have a current decal and wish to visit one of the beautiful lakes, you can purchase a one-day pass for $11 at the kiosk. This pass will be valid for all lakes for one day.
To obtain a current boat decal, visit the POA offices at 895 DeSoto Blvd.; they will be happy to assist you in becoming compliant.
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.
