CLASS II-III+     4.5 miles
  The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less demanding. The natural beauty of Arkansas and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great.
