Paddling near Little Rock, AR


Set in Pulaski County along the banks of the Arkansas River, Little Rock puts paddlers within reach of 30 kayak launch points within 50 miles spanning 16 lakes, 13 rivers, and 1 creek. The Corps-controlled river runs as calm flatwater most of the year, while cypress-lined trails on the Little Maumelle at Pinnacle Mountain State Park and the 8,900-acre Lake Maumelle sit just minutes west.
