    on the river for a while will make you glad you came. The Lake Norrell Spillway section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short
distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.

The beauty of the Ouachita Mountains is a great plus for this river. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Arkansas tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so if you're
