This river offers a good Class II to III+ challenge among A+ scenery in the Ouachita National Forest.
The river is generally pool drop with the pools in the first half of the run containing some decent current. Higher water levels offer lots of big waves and a few hydraulics.
Put-in: Ouachita National Forest Campground Albert Pike. Take Hwy 369 North from Hwy 84 at Langley.
Take-out: Hwy 84 bridge West of Langley. There are a couple of access roads on the strecth below Edgar's surprise for other options.
Below Big Hole, the river offers larger pools but still has a few nice rapids and waves, most notable is 'Accellerator'.

First main rapid located where boulders appear to block the channel. Multiple routes are available, most prefer the left. Pins are very possible if longer boats get sideways.
Series of 4 ledge drops of 1-3 feet each as the river cuts through the mountain ridge. The first ledge offers a large hole and waves, the following ledges require maneuvering to avoid rocks and holes.
Leaving the Winding Stairs, the river turns right and shortly enters a nice class II wave train. Be on the watch for the boulder on river right near the bottom and head for the eddy behind it. The wave train leads to diagonal ledge below the boulder. The river left side of the ledge is home to one mean hydraulic. Best to run the ledge on the right below the boulder.
The river turns to the left and drops through a rapid with several holes and rocks to dodge
