DISCLAIMER: This site provides creek condition estimates for informational purposes only. Gauge data, radar estimates, and forecasts may be delayed, inaccurate, or unavailable. Always exercise independent judgment. Whitewater kayaking is inherently dangerous — water conditions can change rapidly. This site and its maintainers assume no responsibility for decisions made based on information displayed here.

Page Details: This page lists Creeks, Rivers, and Play Spots in Arkansas and their current Level or Flow based on USGS Data. There's also a handful of useful links to descriptions of the run from several sources, point forecasts for the run by the National Weather Service, USGS Gauge Precipitation Reports (If provided by the gauge) and an estimate of the Precipitation that has fallen in the watershed by the NOAA MRMS QPE Model (See the Watershed Radar Predictions for more details).

This page was inspired by the Ozark Whitewater Page by Bill Herring (ozarkpages.com/whitewater). His data has been invaluable, and were the shoulders I stood on for creation of this site.
