CLASS II-IV     5 miles
  The wonderful Arkansas scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Arkansas is often easier than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are suitable for beginners. This section of Little Mulberry Creek is 5 miles long and it is classified as a class II-IV section by American Whitewater. The river winds through the Boston Mountains and you get great scenery. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of
    paddling rivers. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature will have you coming back for more. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, good for a one day paddling trip. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get
to one, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well.
