Too Low - Not RecommendedA clear, spring-fed Ouachita Mountain stream and one of Arkansas's most popular family floats, running east past the boulder gorge at Caddo Gap toward DeGray Lake. The classic Caddo Gap-to-Glenwood run mixes fun Class I-II rock gardens with long, calm pools.

The Caddo is flashy—it can jump several feet within hours of heavy rain (the deadly 2010 Albert Pike flood was on the next river over). Never camp low on gravel bars, and get off the water when the gauge is rising.
