City of Siloam Springs Kayak Park 19253 Fisher Ford Road, Siloam Springs, AR 72761

"This is a great kayak park to have in NW Arkansas! There are several routes to go down the park, with a bit of diversity regarding what skills you're working on. The one downside of the park (maybe) is that it gets super crowded with beach goers and swimmers during the weekends, so be prepared to show up early or possibly have to wait for parking ans the space is limited. That being said, once in, the area to offload your kayak, canoe, or SUP is easy to use for loading and unloading. You can go down the park rapids, then pull your boat out and walk it back to the start, as many times as you want to while there. If you feel like it, there's nothing stopping you from exploring a little down past the park on the river too, as long as you don't mind paddling back up stream to leave. Oh and there is a small rock climbing structure that kids might like. There are bathrooms, beach space, tables, and nice landscaping all around. It seems to be regularly getting better, but yeah, on the weekends, it's crowded."

"Amazing kayak launch area, nice swimming area, they have loan life jackets, picnic tables, changing rooms and very nice restrooms !"

"Great place for families to spend the day in the sun and water. Small rapids to keep everyone happy. Life jackets should be used"

"My friend and I enjoyed our time at the kayak park yesterday. Lots of people, families and kayakers, Also seen a couple of canoes. We moved down stream to a private gravel bar which was awesome. There were a couple of young boys fishing, wading out half way to fish the other side. They were catching and releasing a few brown bass. The Illinois River was swift but great for floaties. Hope to go again next weekend!!!"

"This place is SO beautiful. BUT. We drove a couple hours from outta town to be told, when we arrived, they close in 30 minutes (the website says 11pm). It was 8 when we arrived. So this was very irritating. They told us that their website has not been updated.. It’s the beginning of the summer season. You would think they would update the hours so people aren’t driving hours to be turned away. Other than that, the spot was beautiful. $10 parking on weekends and holidays. Free through the week. But if the parking lot is full, you will be turned down as well. 100% call before you go. We will definitely give it another chance. But don’t trust the website."
