⭐WOKA Whitewater Park is one of very few whitewater spots in northwest Arkansas that runs water year-round, making it a rare year-round whitewater destination in the region
⭐The park features a wave pool and is built directly alongside the river with natural rapids, offering both engineered and natural whitewater experiences in one location
⭐Safety equipment including life jackets and whitewater helmets are required, and the park operates without on-site lifeguards, requiring visitors to manage their own safety

💡Wear water shoes with good grip when walking your tube back to the top of the rapids — the moss and algae on rocks can be slippery, and the natural riverside setting means wildlife like snakes may be present on the rocks.
🕐Check river current conditions before visiting, as this whitewater park runs water year-round but flow levels vary. This is essential for planning your visit and rental choices.
💡Family tubes are sturdy and fun for groups, but surfboards are challenging even for experienced riders — consider renting family tubes and single tubes instead for a more enjoyable experience with mixed ability levels.
💬Plan for at least a full day visit — there are trails to ride and run just outside the parking lot, benches with large umbrellas along the rapids for rest, and concession prices are very reasonable, making this ideal for a day trip or overnight stay.
💡Note that the park is card-only for payments, so bring a credit or debit card — cash is not accepted at concessions or for rentals.
