I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
Calling all outdoor or more specifically, water enthusiasts. Are you ready for a magical adventure park in Arkansas? If so, then grab your kayaks or canoes and head to the Siloam Springs Kayak Park. You’ll love paddling the rapids at this FREE water park because it will be an exhilarating adventure that will light up your soul. Get ready for the most fun you’ll have in Arkansas this year.
Welcome to the Siloam Springs Kayak Park! It’s a free adventure park tucked on the banks of the scenic Illinois River in Northwest Arkansas.
Built in 2014, this 700-foot engineered oasis is the perfect place for a family-friendly adventure. And best of all, you can visit all year long. The park is open every day between 5:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., so there is plenty of time to bask in all that it has to offer.
If you’re looking for a great spot to spend a fun-filled day, then this place is for you. During the warmer months, you can enjoy swimming and tubing, or catch some rays, while relaxing by the shoreline.
Due to the crowds in the warmer months, most kayakers frequent the park during the colder seasons. Or they get there in the wee hours of the morning to guarantee that they will have the rapids to themselves.
When there are no swimmers or tubers around, kayakers can enjoy the rapids in the most magical way.
The thrill of the adventure will light up their souls. Not to mention the crystal-clear water as well as the two major drops that add even more joy to the experience.
There’s no doubt that this adventure park is a slice of heaven for the outdoor enthusiasts, and if you’re a kayaker you’ll feel rejuvenated after riding the rapids.
