The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is the volunteer, non-military arm of the U.S. Coast Guard. It serves the public through boating-safety classes, free vessel safety checks and safety patrols on the water and in the air. Members of the Auxiliary have no direct law-enforcement powers and issue no permits. This web site is dedicated to the safety of the boating public.

Founded in 1989, Flotilla 57 is one of six Flotillas under the jurisdiction of U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Division 5 which is responsible for the territory of Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas. Flotilla 57 is located in Lakeview, Arkansas. It oversees twin lakes, Bull Shoals Lake and Norfolk Lake, and twin rivers, the White river and Norfork river.
