Millwood Lake For the Army Corps of Engineers’ real-time lake level and outflow report from Millwood Lake Dam, visit the Corps Little Rock office website. (updated 6-18-2026) Mike Siefert at Millwood Lake Guide Service said Millwood Lake elevation earlier this week was 8 inches above normal pool and falling, at about 259.8 feet msl. The dam was releasing about 12,000 cfs and the tailwater was near 238 feet and rising. Extreme caution is urged in navigating Little River along the main lake body while the Army Corps of Engineers replacing missing river buoys; call the USACE to report missing (or out of place) river buoys at 870-898-3343 to assist the Corps in recovering disconnected or missing buoys.

Visibility ranged 0-8 inches depending on location. Clarity and visibility in the oxbows diminished, and visibility was ranging 10-12 inches in many locations. Clarity in Horseshoe and McGuire continues to be fair this week and is 10-15 inches of visibility. Mud Lake had increased sediment content this week and improved visibility ranging 5-8 inches. Siefert had these fishing specifics from the past week on Millwood: * Best activity levels for largemouth bass have been during the early morning and late afternoon.
