The Mulberry originates near the small town of
Fallsville, AR and flows just over 60 miles to its confluence with the
Arkansas River. We use about 40 miles of the river commercially. The
Mulberry is a beautiful river to float. The water color ranges from
a dense green to a blue green, and it is not uncommon to see wildlife
along the way. The river flows through both forest and pasture land.
In 1922, the Mulberry was included in the National Wild and Scenic River
System program and is now federally protected.

Well known for its white-water,
the Mulberry is one of the toughest commercially run rivers in the area.
Many people come from all over to ride the waves and leave with souvenirs
stating, "I survived the Mighty Mulberry!" While the Mulberry
might have earned its reputation at higher water levels, it is actually
perfect for beginners at lower water levels. It is a pool-and-drop river
with many learning opportunities for skills such as ferrying and eddying.
There are many clinics and classes held on the Mulberry.
The water level is dependant
on rainfall and can vary from day to day. Call ahead to check on current
water level before your trip.
