Spring River

Whitewater Class 2 & 3. Experience: Intermediate to Advanced.

Mammoth Spring is the major water source for the Spring River and it provides clear, cold whitewater for some major fun. This is a ride that challenges even the most experienced canoeist with thirty sets of rapids within a 12 mile trip. Many of the rapids are class II and class III ledge-type whitewater, with a couple of three foot falls and some adrenaline-pumping "S" curves thrown in. Come learn what most of Northeast Arkansas already knows. A Spring River Canoe trip is one of the most exhilarating canoe floats in the Ozarks! Spring River is famous for its rainbow trout fishing. We offer a 3 mile fishing trip from the Dam-3 (where the Arkansas Game & Fish stock the trout) to the Bayou. This is the best water’s to fish for trout on the Spring River.

South Fork of the Spring

Whitewater Class 1 & 2 Experience: Beginner & Up.

Wilderness serenity are the key words for these trips. These wonderful Ozark canoe trips are offered on a unspoiled, free flowing stretch of the South Fork of the Spring River. Great blue herons, wood ducks, water turtles, deer, wild turkeys, beavers, river otters and the occasional, majestic bald eagle can be viewed on these floats. Rapids are mostly Class I or II shoal-type whitewater, with a few class II ledge rapids thrown in to make it interesting. Several gravel bars and islands make for good rest stops or swimming spots along the way. The South Fork of the Spring is also one of the top ten streams in the State of Arkansas for small-mouth bass fishing and is designated as an Ozark Quality Stream by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. Other fish that can be caught include largemouth, Kentucky and rock bass, bream, catfish and sunfish.

We are the only outfitter that floats this part of the river so you have the chance to be the only one on the water. You do not have to deal with the chaos that you do on other local rivers.
