CANOE AND KAYAKING ON THE CADDO
RATES STATE LAWS
RIVER GAUGE
For
family and friends, church and scout groups, beginners and
experts alike will enjoy the Caddo. The river has several really
good swimming holes, and places to fish along the way, but
Class I and II rapids are frequent and help do much of the
"paddling" for you. In the late summer you may have
to do more of the paddling yourself, but generally the Caddo
stays a pretty good float, and in fact it's one of the most
consistent floating rivers in Arkansas.

There
are several other float options available depending on the
river level and time of year. If you're wanting
something from a short "dip in the water" to a several
day float trip, just talk to Ron, and he will set you up for
the best float on the Caddo.

those fisherman or floating fanatic type who just needs to
get a jump on the day!
