Your talking about the higher part of the river. You have should see the lower run!! Says Traye

The scenic beauty of Arkansas and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Arkansas are often more forgiving than in other states, so don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling rivers. Whitewater paddling here in the Boston Mountains
    is a great experience. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. 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. This is a bit of a short stretch so no need to bring
snacks. The Redding Campground to Highway 23 stretch of Mulberry River in Arkansas is 3.6 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class I-III section of whitewater. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more. This is not the only paddling stretch in this river system, there are others too.
