Great idea for a site! Looking forward to more writings about rivers and lakes in Arkansas. There’s not much out there at all. Which is really surprising. I’m in Fayetteville, so if you’re in the area let me know! We’d love to show you the local spots.

@andy – We got our kayaks from Walmart.com (Daniel’s and Crystal’s) and mine is an Old Town Vapor which I picked up at Bass Pro Shops in Memphis. Besides 3 Rivers Outfitters in Hardy, I don’t know of (and couldn’t locate) a local dealer for kayaks.

Thanks for starting this site! My kids and I have been wanting to buy a few kayaks, but we weren’t sure what to buy, where to get them around here (we live in Paragould) or where to go. Maybe your posts will get us to go out and get started this Summer. With the kids, I want to make sure the water is safe for them since it new to us all.

@kandi – Thanks for the comment! We’ll be out at Craighead again on Wednesday and we are actually heading back to Spring River next Saturday, but this time we will be on South Fork. We’ll also be out at Lake Poinsett State Park in Harrisburg on Sunday. If you haven’t been there, it is worth the short drive: http://www.arkansasstateparks.com/lakepoinsett/. We’ll have a write-up and photos up next weekend.

hello! i’m so happy i found this website! i just got my kayak last week, a perception tribute 10.0! i took it to craighead last friday for about an hour. it was so fun, but i had hoped to see more kayakers on the water. i’m a beginner, so i don’t want to end up somewhere like the spring river- canoeing there makes me panic sometimes LOL. keep up the kayaking, and the writing!
