We will paddle Wattensaw Bayou Saturday January 31. This is a flat water float with very large Cypress trees. Meet at T Ricks in Hazen off I40 exit 193 at 9:00am. Planning a short trip from the first boat ramp to the middle access or down to Wattemsaw Camp and back depending on water level. This is ...

Greg already has my email and I encourage everybody to sign on. Old useless dams are being removed all over the country. This one's time has come. We are hoping to have a new Water Trail on this stream soon and I hope that all club members will support seeing this creek run free.

Yes, the forecast for tomorrow looks just horrendous, but part if the tradition of the New Year's float is that it is on no matter what. If there is one person who can make it to the put in to paddle, it is on. I expect that the awful weather will keep a lot of people away and that's ok and I certai...

See you there!

Thanks Jim! Thanks for you help on the Wattesaw Campsite also.

Winter/Spring 2015 Wetland Touring Schedule  Arkansas Canoe Club Hello swampers!!  I am finally getting out a schedule of trips. It has been a while since we have had a schedule of wetland tours. I am looking forward to reconnecting with old paddling companions and meeting new ones. These trips are ...

Join us for the traditional bringing in of the New Year with a trip down the Little Maumelle River just west of Little Rock. We will meet at 11AM Thursday morning at Pinnacle Mountain State Park by the boat ramp at the West Side parking lot where we will unload and run shuttle. The trip is about fou...

They hearing did not go well. It was obvious from the nature and hostility of most of the questions that Farm Bureau has been in the ears of the state legislature. Some of the questions demonstrated pure ignorance such as, " Is the size of the watershed likely to change?" A watershed is a ...

A small Farm is under 750 pigs. This ban would include both medium and large CAFOs. You can find the definitions of those here:

Both the Senate and House committees on Agriculture and Public Health will review the proposa...

This change is a disaster for the hog farm mess. Anyone who votes for this has just voted to make my job a whole lot harder. This thing is written to confuse people. I have worked on our issues with state agencies and the legislature for 15 years. Issue 1 is a very bad idea.

I am afraid that you couldn't possibly be more wrong about issue one. I don't believe that your assertions are based on any evidence that I am aware of and you statement affirms my position that this change will politicize all decision making that we depend upon to protect our rivers and streams. Th...

This law will: Undermine the separation of powers fundamental to our system of government. It gives the legislature powers that have traditionally been in the executive branch (Governor and state agencies under him/her). Allow a small number of legislators to block implementation of laws that were p...

Thanks everybody. This is helpful. AGFC is partnered with this group, so a lot of things can be funded through them. In connection with our water trails, we have been looking at some access points that would be non motorized only. I am also thinking about our land on Cadron Creek with the steep bank...
