Little Piney Creek's take-out access point in Johnson County, Arkansas provides an exit location for paddlers completing whitewater runs on this medium-sized river. The creek drops 685 feet over its 44-mile length, creating an average gradient of 15.4 feet per mile with an average flow of 262 cubic feet per second. With an average velocity of 1.85 feet per second, this stream offers moderately moving water suitable for intermediate paddlers seeking whitewater experience in the Arkansas region.
As a take-out location specifically, this site serves as the exit point for boaters finishing their downstream runs. Little Piney Creek's classification as a Stream Order 5 medium river indicates it has substantial water volume and drainage from a 250-square-mile watershed. The significant elevation change and gradient make this a creek-running destination rather than a flatwater paddling area. Paddlers should be aware of the stream's consistent current and typical whitewater hazards associated with creek-running conditions.
