Exploring Arkansas August 2014

Buffalo River Millie, Whitewater Recreation Park, Longpool Swimmin' Hole
88-year old Millie Calhoun's dream has always been to float the Buffalo National River. We made that dream come true by arranging her very first float trip down America's first national river. The Whitewater Recreation Park along the Illinois River south of Siloam Springs, provides kayaking adventure for both beginners and experts…not to mention tubing fun for everyone. A popular swimmin' hole is located at the Longpool Recreation Area along Big Piney Creek near Dover. Huge boulders provide natural diving platforms. Kayaking and canoeing can also be enjoyed on this creek.

The Buffalo... a national treasure we have here in Arkansas... it’s amazing how many people don’t know about it....

Thanks Chuck! I've been in Indiana for too many years and this was a very nice virtual visit. Lot of great memories, floating down the river, summer evenings, and sitting around a campfire with family and friends. I'll be hiking in the Buffalo National River area in April and it will be fantastic, even if it rains.
