Cossatot River

This is a gorgous smallmouth bass stream in western Arkansas. The river's headwaters are within the Forest. The upper section is wadeable but not very floatable due to its small size, steep gradient and low flows. The section below the Forest Boundary is within the Cossatot River Natural Area and State Park and it is quite wadeable and floatable though sections have class III to V rapids. Fishing is best left to wading in those stretches!
