Canoeing

All year long, water enthusiasts launch their small craft in a 17-mile stretch of the Spring River between Mammoth Springs State Park and the town of Hardy. Nine million gallons of water flow from Mammoth Springs every hour, making this section of the 57-mile river ideal for canoe, kayak and raft expeditions. It’s easy to get to with numerous access points along U.S. Hwy. 63, Arkansas 289 and Arkansas 58.

With its clean, never-ending water supply, gently overhanging trees and abundant wildlife watching you as you watch them, the Spring River is the perfect place for anybody who wants to get off the land for awhile and let the water be their guide. It’s the perfect way to get up-close-and-personal with one of Nature’s most beautiful waterways.
