This stretch of Robinson Creek in Arkansas is 9 miles long and has been rated as a class II+ section by American Whitewater. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of places for that. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these
    hotels fill up quick. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more. This is a pretty decent length section, it's perfect for a one day trip. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. This is the
only paddling stretch along Robinson Creek. The scenic beauty of Arkansas and the cool fresh water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The wild scenery of the Ouachita Mountains is great.
