what
Hey guys, in a few weeks (for spring break), we will be taking a road trip to Arkansas to go camping. I've never been but I've researched a little online and it looks like the Ozarks are nicer than the Ouachita mountains. I'm looking for things to do but it looks as if everything is scattered quite a distance from the other. Can anyone give me any ideas so I wont have to travel much once I get there? I'm interested in hiking, waterfalls, fishing, caves, kayaking, rafting,etc..Any must see spots? Great tent camping areas? Also, any info on the weather in mid march, good time to fish, swim, what time of clothing to bring, etc...Thanks
Answer
Devil's Den State Park. It has hiking, fishing, caves, but the March creek water runs too fast.
All bat caves from Colorado eastward are closed but there are caves without roost populations.
March is warmish day weather and chilly nights. Three season bag is ideal. Waterproof tent
with taped interior seams. Suggest type that stands without tie-off's, big enough to stand within
and has rain fly fabric as extra moisture shield. Don't eat or excrete closer than 100 feet from
your tent to avoid wildlife problems. Cowboy boots and watching where you go avoids most snake
problems. Cotton is hard to dry. Suggest polyester attire with polypropylene under-layers. Wool
blend sweaters, waterproof bibs and jacket, wide-brim felt hats. Suggest overalls, gloves, helmet
with attached electric lamp(s). Knee pads tend to fall off but they can be a comfort in caves.
Arkansas has so many tourist traps it has gone from quaint to a slice of dumb and dumber.

Answer
Kittatinny Canoes & Paintball in Barryville, NY, on the Delaware River. Camping, paintball, rafting, canoeing, kayaks, zip-line. Take 97 North from Port Jervis, past Pond Eddie and its old steel and wood bridge, go through Hawk's Nest (windy, scenic road above the river), then pass the Shohola bridge (PA County Rd 434, NY Rt 55). A couple miles further on 97 you'll see the main office/shops on your right, with the river campground on your left.
I used to live 15 minutes from them in PA. Beautiful area, but if you rent a raft, canoe or kayak, please be aware that the PA side of the river is all private property, so please respect these property-owners rights by not littering or landing on their property. There's not much nearby for shopping so make sure to stock-up on food in Port Jervis (or across the river in Matamoras, PA) to avoid a long trip back for supplies. There is a Pizza Place, gas station and a couple of pubs nearby, but nothing worth recommending.
