Arkansas whitewater, Rock Creek Pulaski county, Chenal Parkway to Boyle Park section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II+     7.2 miles   A buddy & I made the route from Birchwood park (behind Goodyear on W. Markham street, and took out on South University by the Car Dealerships back in the 80's after a storm which brought some tornados through central Arkansas.  There was a high volume of water.  We had to duck as we went under I-430 through the drain passages.  We had just enough clearance.  But the route was awesome.  We hit quite a big of white water as we passed through Kanis     Park, and shortly after that, after crossing under 12th street/Kanis bridge, the drop through Boyle Park was the fastest falling water on the route.  It was quite an adventurous run, crossing all those well know parks & bridges from the waters perspective.  Fabulous route. Says Don Fletcher You've got to be kidding me... The only time there's enough water in this creek to float would be after a huge storm, at that point we are talking flood stage. Then you are talking about going through the heart of Little Rock, with street overpasses some barely clearing the creek, lots of debris, etc. Says Noel The starting location is a short drive from Little   Rock-North Little Rock, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. The average Arkansas whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that quite a few of the sections in this state are pretty easy. This section of Rock Creek in Pulaski County is 7.2 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II+ section. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the Chenal Parkway to Boyle Park section is one of them.
