Hashtags for Corps Lakes

Summer is upon us and wed like to have a simple and easy promotion for visitors at our lakes. Hashtags are everywhere with more and more people using them on their Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and other social media accounts. This isnt just for Twitter anymore, hashtags are used in all forms of social media and people are tagging their photos and status for all to see.

We would like to promote hashtags for visitors to use when posting to their social media sites. We can promote via all our USACE social media sites as well as flyers posted at your lakes. All the posts and photos tagged with our hashtag can be aggregated together that we display via various websites.

Below is a couple of tags to use:
#FunAtCorpsLakes
#WearItCorpsLakes

Plus a couple of "activity" hashtags:
#BoatCorpsLakes
#CampCorpsLakes
#FishCorpsLakes
#VolunteerCorpsLakes

Promote these hashtags via your lake's social media page. There is also a flyer you can print and display at the lake or post online.

Here are PDF and PowerPoint versions of the flyer for your use.

can also be used for social media posts.
