Kerr Lake - Arkansas River Float

Floated a couple of miles on the Arkansas River today and explored some marsh with my son and my friend Leisa.

We put in at the River Mountain boat ramp (just downstream of Two Rivers Park) and floated across the Little Maumelle River and into the confluence. The sun was out and it was in the upper 50s, perfect weather. We saw some Buffleheads (adult and juvenile) and a brazen Great Blue Heron.

Bayou Meto, Jacksonville, AR

We went for a short trip today to Bayou Meto in Jacksonville, AR today. Perfect weather and a perfect day. We only went about 3/4s of a mile up the stream but it was gorgeous. I would have embedded a link to an actual google map but it look like google has disabled that feature for some reason. We were woefully unprepared for the mud and the portaging and we turned back early by a large tree. Next time we'll be better prepared and float further but for an hour or so this was a lot of fun...
