Description

Nice slow class I float with an occasional Class II riffle. Many places to access although it flows through private land for much of the way. Do not confuse the takeout with Oklahoma Hwy 59 as it will make the trip much much longer through the remnants of Lake Francis! About halfway, the creek crosses under Fisher Ford Road and drops over a bedrock shoal known as 'Fisher Ford'. In 2014, enhancements are being completed to create the city ofSiloam Springs Whitewater Recreational Park. This is a nice class II playspot that offers something to surf at most flows, even in the summer. Can be combined with upstream sections for longer trips.
