Arkansas whitewater - Cadron Creek, Boston Mountains, Faulkner County

Faulkner county, Pinnacle Springs to Highway 65 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I(III)     4.5 miles
 
Just let you know that although Cadron Creek itself flows through private property there are a few campgrounds on the river that are run by Cadron Creek Outfitters -- two of which are accessible only by boat.á Cadron Creek Outfitters can also assist with boat rentals and shuttles on the weekends when they are open during the season (March 1 to June 15) Says John Svendsen

The natural beauty of Faulkner County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here
    in Arkansas are often easier than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. If you're coming from Little Rock-North Little Rock it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, please print out a copy of the road
map further down the page so you won’t get lost. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come. This section of Cadron Creek in Arkansas is 4.5 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I(III) section. The Pinnacle Springs to Highway 65 stretch is one of many paddling stretches in this river system. Whitewater paddling here in the Boston Mountains is a great experience. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are lots of good places for that around here.  
If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. This stretch is mid length, suitable for an afternoon trip. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
