You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away     from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The wild scenery of the Ouachita Mountains is great. The scenic beauty of McCurtain County and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle.
