Pond Creek, Pond Creek NWR, Arkansas
Kayak paddle trail map on Pond Creek starting at the Stag Lake Campground in the Pond Creek NWR, Arkansas. This area is about 15-20 miles from town (that means where the Walmart is). The water level on Little River was very high and the current was fast. The level on Pond Creek was also high but the current was slow. The route here follows Pond Creek to a northern turnaround point, then to a southern turnaround point, then back to the launch. The creek consists of long open ponds separated by narrow shady channels. Some of the refuge roads were blocked by fallen trees, so having a saw in the car might be useful. On a later trip here Pond Creek was down dramatically. Access requires a DIY Pond Creek NWR Permit.
