Min Sug. Level:  150 cfs

River Description

The full length run has seven "waterfalls" & several waves.

According to Kayak 111 "You may not think it, but there is a whitwater creek in Mississippi! It is the Okatoma creek, it offers three class I falls and chutes. If the water is right, surfing is possible. The trip can be completed in three and one half hours. It depends on how much time you spend swimming in the water. If you live near by it is certainly worth the drive."

Where can I put in and take out to run this creek for as little river time as possible (I will be on a tight schedule when I'm in the area) but still catch both class II rapids?

Ive ran this river since i was about 15 and now i am 27. This river is very fun with two good size Class 2 rapids. There are many riffles and class ones that dot this river and a few good swimming holes. There is also a small cold water creek that runs into the Okatoma that has its own little water fall and is very nice on a hot Mississippi day. This river is very enjoyable but as always use caution.
