Anything around Hot Springs?

Post by Alia » Tue Sep 30, 2014 7:48 pm

Hello! My husband and I just moved to Little Rock from Virginia...is there anything to paddle around Hot Springs? I'm cool with Class III+ and husband is good on Class IV-V stuff... If anyone is planning on paddling this weekend and wouldn't mind us tagging along, we can offer beer and high fives!

Bad news, I don't think that anything is running right now in the Ozarks or Ouachitas. Good news, paddling season is just around the corner.

They ARE predicting rain for tomorrow. So it is possible that something might run. Hope I didn't just jinx it.

Have you tried the Remmel dam to Rockport ledge float ? They are supposed to open dam from 6 am till noon tomorrow. Me and a friend are going.

Alia, nothing will be running this weekend. Y'all should do this. http://forums.arkansascanoeclub.com/vie ... 19&t=26537" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It's flatwater but kinda cool because you'll be paddling on the Arkansas River between Little Rock and North Little Rock, and you'll meet some Central Arkansas paddlers. Brunch at the takeout too. Come on out.
You come too.

I think remmel will be generating tomorrow so park and play at rockport is an option. There may not be anyone else there though.

Remmel will begin releasing about 1,200 CFS at 6 AM and increase that release to 3,600 CFS from 9 AM to Noon.
