CLASS II+ 3.5 miles
This stretch of Trace Creek in Perry County is 3.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II+ section. The starting point is not too far from Hot Springs, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more forgiving, so don't forget that rivers here are less demanding. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The nature scenery of Perry
County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you'll find lots of paddling spots. Getting your paddling
muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. This is the only paddling section along Trace Creek. This is a somewhat short section so no need to bring snacks. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. The river winds through the Ouachita Mountains and you get great scenery.
