As summer activity picks up across Garland County, a recent incident in Branson, Missouri involving a duck boat has renewed conversations about water safety on our own beloved Lake Hamilton. For those who have lived in Hot Springs long enough, these moments carry a particular weight — our community has its own history with lake tragedies that remind us how quickly a beautiful day on the water can turn.
