Too Low - Not RecommendedA clear, gravel-bottomed Ozark stream running across north-central Arkansas to the White River near Cotter. A Blue Ribbon smallmouth fishery with easy Class I floating past long gravel bars and riffles — entirely rain-fed, so it drops skinny in summer.
Pick a put-in and take-out and we'll estimate float time, mileage, and shuttle — then give you a link to share with your crew.
Ordered upstream → downstream. Open a place for access details or choose an eligible put-in in the planner.
Use caution at Kelly's Slab (a low-water bridge). Crooked Creek can turn from a trickle into a raging torrent within hours of heavy rain, and there's no official flood gauge—treat any rapid rise as dangerous.
