The Arkansas River is one of the best rivers to paddle in the state and probably the most crowded. The Granite Gorge section offers excellent whitewater in a forested canyon. Class III rapids begin a mile below put-in. There is a dam just below the whitewater section that can be portaged on river right. There is one more set up good waves that are fun but and not too challenging. Be sure to not to miss the takeout as extreme rapids begin right below the takeout.
