The Highway 23 to War Eagle Mill stretch of War Eagle Creek is 38 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-II section.

    workout and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers,
