Oklahoma whitewater - Flint Creek, Ozarks, Delaware County

Delaware county, US 412 to Fidler's Bend section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II(IV)     1 miles
  If you're coming from Tahlequah it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. This section of Flint Creek in Delaware County is 1 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II(IV) section. This is a very short stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. Flint Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the US 412 to Fidler's Bend stretch is the only one. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. The
    natural beauty of Delaware County and the cool fresh water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with not too many other rivers for that. The wild scenery of the Ozarks is great. Getting your
paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Oklahoma is often easier than elsewhere, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere.

Briefly about the general area:
Now, you may imagine that's a heap but there's even more entertaining things to do here in the Ozarks. Flint Creek
 
is a wet place that gets a great deal of rainfall; the wettest month of the year is generally September, that's the one that rains the most while January is frequently the driest month.
