CLASS II-III     4.5 miles
  The scenic beauty of Van Buren - Faulkner County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This stretch of Hogan's Creek is 4.5 miles long and is a class II-III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. On this section you do get some distance, good for a one day paddling trip. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great attractions for lots of people.
    Hogan's Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Highway 92 to Cove Creek stretch is the only one. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Arkansas are often more forgiving than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers
here are not as hard as elsewhere. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The river winds through the Boston Mountains and you get great scenery. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby.
