The Arkansas Headwaters State Recreation Area stretches for almost 150 miles along the Arkansas River, and offers abundant and outstanding opportunities for fishing, rafting, kayaking, picnicking, hiking, camping, mountain biking, and sightseeing among deep canyons, broad valleys and towering mountain peaks.
