Canoeing the Ouachita River at any time of the year offers visitors a chance to view towering rocky bluffs and riverbanks sprinkled with wild flowers while winding through the rugged and undeveloped National Forest. The pleasant temperatures and brilliant seasonal color displays of fall and spring, the cooling and refreshing effect of moving water and shade trees during the heat of summer, make March to November the most popular times to enjoy this trip. The family-friendly river flows casually past massive rock bluffs shaded by tree-lined banks and slopes. Free of commercial development, the Ouachita is a gentle river with occasional Class I-II rapids separated by flat-water pools. Fishing is excellent, with an abundance of bass (mostly smallmouth, largemouth and spotted), bluegill, catfish, green and longear sunfish, walleye and any number of other species. Mother Nature blessed the Ouachita Mountains with the most beautiful quartz crystal in the world. Mount Ida is known as the "Quartz Crystal Capital of the World".

We are located near one of the darkest sky places in Arkansas and you can easily see the Milky Way.
