Our Mission
To protect Greers Ferry Lake for present and future generations.
Save Greers Ferry Lake, Inc., was incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in April of 2000 to preserve the natural shoreline and clean water of Greers Ferry Lake through public education and collaborative efforts. Increased recreational and drinking water demands on this extraordinary resource created a need for public action to support the future protection of the lake.
Greers Ferry Lake is one of the most pristine lakes in the United States; an incredibly beautiful reservoir formed by Greers Ferry Dam, a United States Army Corps of Engineers dam. The reservoir consists of two major sections of the lake connected by a water-filled gorge called the Narrows. The total water area is about 40,500 acres with a combined shoreline of just over 340 miles. Greers Ferry Lake is located in Northern Arkansas about 60 miles north of Little Rock.

The History of SGFL
In 2000 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposed a Shoreline Management Plan. A group of concerned citizens banned together and formed Save Greers Ferry Lake, Inc. SGFL joined with the Arkansas Nature Alliance and successfully petitioned the Corps to request a reexamination of the Plan and reduce the number of new docks that would be allowed.
In 2004 the Arkansas Wildlife Federation awarded its prestigious "Water Conservationist of the Year" award to SGFL, Inc. The award, which honors groups and individuals who have made significant contributions to promoting the conservation of Arkansas' natural resources, was given for SGFL's efforts to protect the lake.
SGFL volunteers continue to monitor activities that might adversely impact the Greers Ferry Lake. We welcome input from the public, including any concerns about the future welfare of this increasingly important source of flood control, power, clean drinking water and recreation.
