About This Access Site
This take-out access on Cadron Creek in Faulkner County serves as an exit point for paddlers finishing a whitewater run. Cadron Creek is a substantial stream classified as a large river (Stream Order 7) with a significant gradient of 8.2 feet per mile, indicating moderate to fast-moving water with whitewater potential. The creek drains 750 square miles and maintains an average flow of 951 cubic feet per second with velocities around 2.19 feet per second, creating dynamic water conditions suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers seeking whitewater experiences.

The take-out location is positioned in the lower-middle section of Cadron Creek's 74.78-mile length, well downstream from the headwaters. With an elevation drop of 614 feet across the entire system, this section likely features continuous current and potentially Class II-III whitewater depending on recent rainfall and seasonal flows. Paddlers should be prepared for fast-moving water and plan accordingly when using this exit point.
