Located in Ouachita National Forest along the Oklahoma-Arkansas border, the upper Kiamichi River is a little-known gem. It offers Class II to III boulder garden rapids. The banks are lined with a dense forest and natural plantlife. Wildlife and birdlife are abundant and the water quality is good. Be aware of cross currents, eddies, pourovers, and small holes. Paddlers should be competent in white water. Put in is off SH 63 and takeout is below US Hwy 259.
