About This Access Site
This is a whitewater take-out point on Big Creek in Cleburne County, Arkansas. Big Creek is a medium-sized river system with a total length of 24.31 miles and an elevation drop of 392 feet, creating a moderate to moderately steep gradient of 16.1 feet per mile. The take-out location is positioned well downstream on the creek, approximately 1273 miles from the river mouth. With an average flow of 141.81 cubic feet per second and an average velocity of 1.82 feet per second, paddlers can expect steady current conditions typical of a Class II to Class III whitewater stream.
This take-out serves as an exit point for kayakers and canoeists running Big Creek's whitewater sections. The drainage area of 174 square miles indicates a stable water source, making the creek reliably runnable during normal to high water conditions. Paddlers using this access should be prepared for moving water with moderate current and typical whitewater hazards. The take-out's downstream location suggests it serves trips that run significant portions of the creek, making it an important endpoint for multi-mile paddling expeditions.
