We will be running the middle fork of the little red above Shirley this weekend. Due to river height we can only run the 4.5 mile section above Shirley to Shirley city park taking around 3 hours. We run by reservation and are always happy to help 501-250-5560.

We are open this weekend & every other weekend. We run by appointment 501-250-5560. Levels are on the lower end so the only float available is bear branch to Shirley. 4.5 miles takes around 3 hours depending on pace of the group.

The middle fork of the little red and the Archey fork have dropped below a floatable level and they are running generators below the lake on the little red so we will not have any floats available this weekend
