RAW Scenic Kayaking - 3 Days Deep in Arkansas

Спорт

RAW paddling edit from our 3 day kayak camping trip deep in the backcountry of Arkansas! The Ouachita Mountains are home to incredible rivers and streams. The region is undeveloped leaving rivers like this one in their ancient form.

    I have now fallen asleep to this video 2 nights in a row, and finally made the time to watch it in its entirety while actually paying attention lolol. Its strange how quite a tough trip down the river can make for such a peaceful and relaxing video, yet here we are haha. It hardly needs to be said anymore with so many people agreeing and echoing the same sentiment, but you knock it out of the park every time man, great work.

The town is on the Spring River and is absolutely stunning. Many people come to Arkansas to visit Hot Springs, or Eureka Springs but miss out on not giving Cotter a visit. Have fun on your float!

The contributing watershed is actually quite small, so it must be a pretty localized rain event. The lower is not bad, especially cool to converge with the white river. The regulars hold boxley/ponca in high regard as the premier spot.

But I am glad you all had fun together cuz that is what it's all about. Thanks you for sharing this video brother. My lil brother Tim just got his first kayak yesterday and he is so exciting. He went out & test it out on the water with his co worker. I was Suppose to go but 20 min after getting the kayak loaded up in the truck we had stopped by a BBQ store and when I got out of the truck my leg 🦵 give out on me & I failed down & my leg 🦵is hurt pretty bad. The X-rays show no Broken bones but I have to get an MIR done to see what is wrong. My lil brother feels bad because he thinks that he pushed me to much to help him pick up his kayak because I only had 3 hours of sleep. I keep trying to tell him it's not his fault. I think I am done kayaking , kayak camping , fishing , & working for the rest of the year. We will see am hoping that is not True. Take it easy buddy.

From the looks of it at the 12:00 minute mark, that looks a lot like the Winding Stairs section of the Little Missouri River. Was this from the Little MO? Also I'm gonna check out your dry duffels for my overnight trips. Thanks for sharing!

Also I'm about to do the South Saskatchewan in October and I'm dreading it a little. Should be some low water there as well. I've done my fair share of shallow river trips and they are not always fun. We'll make the most of it though. It's all about the adventure, right? You should come up to Alberta Canada sometime man and we could plan a trip where I'll take you on a fossil hunting excursion on the St. Mary's or Red Deer river sometime (look up ammolite) ;) and then check out my Red Deer & St. Marys video. Lots of amazing scenery and geology. Paddle on,
