Outdoors & Sports / Canoeing / Canoeing the Crooked Creek
A favorite of smallmouth anglers, Crooked Creek offers three separate float trips on
its Pyatt to Yellville section:
| a) |
Pyatt to Turkey - this half-day float features rifflies, gravel bars and overhanging limbs. To reach the take-out by car, go east of Snow for about two miles, then turn south off U.S. 62 onto a country road which provides access to the stream.
|
| b) |
Turkey to Kelly's Slab - the longest of the three floats along this section of Crooked Creek, also offers good scenery, fast chutes and occasional hazards (willow thickets, flood debris and fallen timber). The take-out point is one mile due west of Yellville at a low-water bridge know locally as "Kelly's Slab."
|
| c) |
Kelly's Slab to Yellville - This half-day float is similar to the upper trips, but is a shorter float. The trip concludes on the east side of Hwy. 14 where the City of Yellville has built a public park. |
