Faulkner county, Cove Creek Run: Highway 65 to Highway 285 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I(III)     10 miles
  The Cove Creek Run: Highway 65 to Highway 285 section of Cadron Creek in Faulkner County is 10 miles long and has been rated as a class I(III) section by American Whitewater. The wonderful Faulkner County scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream attract people from near and far. The average Arkansas whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many runs in this state are very easy. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the
    river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The wild scenery of the Boston Mountains is great. This river system is full of great paddling stretches, the Cove Creek Run: Highway 65 to Highway 285 stretch is just one of them. You can pitch a tent or park your
RV at a nearby campground. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of spots for that. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. This stretch has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so pack your camp stove. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Little Rock-North Little Rock, as you can see on the road map further down.
