About This Access Site
This take-out access point on Haw Creek in Johnson County, Arkansas serves paddlers completing whitewater runs on a medium-sized stream with significant gradient. Haw Creek is a 29-mile waterway with a total elevation drop of 250 feet, creating an average gradient of 8.6 feet per mile. With an average flow of about 91 cubic feet per second and velocity of 1.92 feet per second, this creek offers genuine whitewater characteristics suitable for kayakers and canoeists seeking moving water experiences in the Ozark region.

The take-out location is positioned upstream of the creek's eventual confluence with larger river systems, approximately 1,423 miles from the water body's ultimate mouth. The stream's classification as a medium river (Stream Order 5) with a 112-square-mile drainage area indicates consistent flow and established channel characteristics. Paddlers using this take-out should be prepared for current speeds and gradient typical of Ozark-region whitewater streams.

As a dedicated take-out point, this access is intended for paddlers exiting their runs rather than beginning trips. Users should confirm local access policies and parking availability before arriving, as specific amenities and regulations are not detailed in the provided data.
