The Whitewater River Run in Arkansas is a popular destination for kayaking and rafting enthusiasts. The ideal streamflow range for this stretch of the river is between 300-1000 cubic feet per second (cfs). The class rating for the river ranges from II-III, with some sections reaching class IV depending on the water level.

The segment mileage for the run is approximately 7 miles, starting at Forest Road 132C and ending at Forest Road 179. Along the way, there are several notable rapids and obstacles, including "Little Niagara," "S-Turn," and "The Big Slide." These rapids offer exciting challenges for experienced paddlers, but can be dangerous for those without proper training and equipment.

There are several regulations in place for the Whitewater River Run, including a requirement for all paddlers to wear personal flotation devices (PFDs) and helmets. Additionally, visitors are encouraged to practice Leave No Trace principles and respect private property along the river.
