1) Moore to Richland Creek Campground (6.2 miles) Wild

Richland Creek is one of the more impressive runs in Arkansas, not hair, but good class III/IV creekin'. A++ Scenery as 90% of the run is inside the Richland Creek Wilderness Area. Typical hazards for a creek, undercuts, downed wood, strong hydraulics. Gradient by mile: 25, 35, 65, 75, 70, 65. Put-in: Located by taking Newton County Road 5050 (FSR 1203) North for 4 miles at the community of Ben Hur on Hwy 16. A low water bridge and painted gauge referenced above and below are located here. Park on the North Side of the creek if possible and don't block the intersection. South side is private land. Ben Hur is about 9 miles East of of the Hwy 7/Hwy 16 intersection at Pelsor. Take-out: Reached by continuing East on Hwy 16 from Ben Hur for 1.5 miles and turning onto Upper Falling Water Road (NFS 1205) and following to the NFS Richland Creek Campground. This road will parallel Falling Water Creek most of the way. This can also be reached by taking Falling Water Road farther East off Hwy 16. !Richland Creek Map More info and photos at: Ozark Whitewater Page
