Class I Arkansas River, AR
Arkansas River Water Trail (Fort Smith Park to Fort Smith Park)
The Arkansas River wraps around Fort Smith, which began as a Western frontier military post in 1817. The river is a corridor for transportation and recreation, and home to a wide variety of wildlife – from the endangered pallid sturgeon to millions of migratory waterfowl.
The shallow backwaters adjacent to the Arkansas River provide wonderful opportunities for paddling, fishing and wildlife viewing.
