- Cossatot River State Park-Natural Area
-
Cossatot River State Park-Natural Area is a 5,383-acre (2,178 ha) state park and designated natural area located in Howard County, Arkansas, United States. The park is managed jointly by the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism and the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission.
The park lies along 11 miles (18 km) of the Cossatot River which features Class III, IV, and dangerous Class V rapids making it one of the more challenging float rivers in the central United States. The park is a popular destination for skilled canoeists, kayakers, and playboaters.
The park shares a border with the Ouachita National Forest and consists of a rugged rocky canyon with old growth hardwoods and juniper glades. The river, including the park, has been designated as a National Wild and Scenic River by Congress.
Tent sites (no hookups) are located at the Cossatot Falls Area and the Sandbar Area.
Much of the park was acquired with the assistance of the Weyerhaeuser Corporation.
