Where to Find the Best Eureka Springs Kayaking
THE KINGS RIVER
The Kings River begins in the mountainous Ozark National Forest and flows north for more than 90 miles where it spills into Table Rock Lake. One of the last remaining free-flowing rivers in the United States, the Kings River flows past stunning rock bluffs and tree-lined banks. It’s crystal clear waters are teeming with more than 59 species of fish including several kinds of bass and channel catfish.
At Kings River Outfitters, you’ll find several options for enjoying this spectacular river, including kayak and canoe rentals. Each kayak or canoe rental costs $75 and includes a lifejacket, paddles, and a shuttle ride. Kings River Outfitters also offers specialized fishing kayaks which offer a unique and maneuverable way to fish!
BEAVER LAKE
Nestled amidst the stunning Ozark Mountains, the 28,370-acre Beaver Lake is surrounded by hundreds of miles of shoreline with scenic limestone bluffs. When you stay with us at Beaver Lake Cottages, you’ll have access to exploring the lake with complimentary kayaks on site! One of our favorite times to kayak on Beaver Lake is during the sunrise.
