The Washing Machine.  Cossatot River. Class III-IV. Southwest Arkansas

This site is being designed as an online pictorial and guidebook to paddling the rivers and creeks of the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas and Oklahoma, as well as the Ozarks and Texas hill country. Herein you will find over 500 photos and detailed maps of these streams on over 130 pages, as well as links to weather sites,river gages,paddling clubs,map sources,etc. Basically any and everything I can find of value in the Quest for South Central Whitewater. Disclaimer: Of course paddling whitewater is inherently dangerous. Any information or pictures on this site can at anytime become obsolete due to the changing nature of the streams featured. All ratings and descriptions should be considered my personal opinion and nothing more.

You are visitor since April 18, 1999

Thanks
