The beautiful scenery of Scott/ Logan County and the water flowing gracefully down Sugar Creek have people coming here. This is a pretty decent length section, good for a one day paddling trip. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a
room before you come because it is a very popular destination. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. 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 a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good places for that around here. There are no other stretches to paddle along Sugar Creek than the NFR 19 to Jack Creek Rec Area stretch. The beauty of the Ouachita Mountains is a great plus for this river.
