My husband & I drove straight out Hwy 62 from Fayetteville yesterday, a bit more than an hour's drive. Put in at No Head Hollow, took out at Echota -- 2 miles on rte 10 between access points, 12 miles on the river.
Not a ton of people, beautiful scenery, lovely swimming, saw some really big fish. Caught unawares by the OK winds, river requires lots of paddling, too shallow in some spots for anything but kayak.
Perfect for new kayaker fresh from rec school!
Illinois River, accessible from NWA, yesterday
Re: Illinois River, accessible from NWA, yesterday
That is a great shuttle of only 2 miles. Crowded on the weekend but not bad during the week.
