	Whitewater Floats - Cossatot River, Ouachita River and Caddo River
		In the Ouachita Mountains, the clear and sparkling waters of the Little Missouri and Cossatot rivers have created often noisy and always picturesque cascades where the streams have etched their way through ridges of upturned rock.
		Popular among floaters are sections of the upper Ouachita and Caddo rivers, which offer opportunities for wildlife watching and fishing for smallmouth and other bass species and sunfish.
		Because of its upland watershed, the Cossatot rises and falls relatively quickly so floaters are advised to call ahead to verify sufficient water levels.
