About This Access Site
This take-out site on Rock Creek in Little Rock, Pulaski County serves as an exit point for paddlers completing whitewater runs on a significant stream. Rock Creek is a large river system (stream order 7) draining 1,253 square miles with an average gradient of 7.8 feet per mile, indicating moderate current and flow conditions. With an average flow of 49.85 cubic feet per second and velocity of 2.12 feet per second, paddlers should expect moving water conditions typical of a medium-sized river system.
The take-out location at these coordinates in Little Rock provides access to a waterway that drops 436 feet over its 56-mile length. This gradient and flow rate suggest the creek is suitable for intermediate paddlers comfortable with moderate current, though conditions may vary seasonally. The site's designation as a whitewater take-out indicates it serves paddlers exiting from upstream runs rather than serving as a primary launch point.
When planning a trip to this take-out, paddlers should verify current water conditions, as flows can change significantly based on rainfall and upstream dam operations. The river's substantial drainage area means water levels and current speed can vary considerably between seasons.
