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.  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 Pinnacle Springs to Highway 65 section of Cadron Creek is 4.5 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I(III) section. The starting location is a reasonable
    drive from Little Rock-North Little Rock, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. The scenic beauty of Faulkner County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. This stretch has has
enough mileage, it's perfect for a one day trip. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so better not forget that many runs in this state are very easy. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the Pinnacle Springs to Highway 65 section is just one of many. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some  
time outdoors have people coming from far and near. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good spots. The beautiful Boston Mountains scenery is an added bonus.
