Horse camp · U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Fees: reservable on Recreation.gov (nightly fee) Overview Horseshoe Bend Park, located along the Saline River just south of Dierks Dam, is home to a paddlers dream course. This aquatic whitewater park, built along three quarters of a mile of pristine river funneled over native river stone, offers four or more challenging drops. The course is designed with paddlers in mind and is an excellent training location. The water park was home to the Olympic trials in the late 90’s and is dependent on spillway releases from Dierks Lake dam. When water conditions are right the course simulates Class II to Class IV rapids, all within a safe location that is easily accessible for paddlers to practice new techniques. For those looking to stay and play a while, 12 class A campsites are available along the riverfront Recreation Camping Day use Playground Shelter Paddling Facilities 12 Campsites (Overnight) 1 Pavillion (Day Use) 2 Restrooms… Getting there: From Dierks, travel toward DeQueen on Hwy 70 for approximately 3 miles.
