I don't think so. An old road bed comes out of a pocket about where the 173 sign is on the map. It runs down the side and along the bluff right above Mash Hollow.
Wayne I think he is talking about the beginning of the big flat above Mash hollow where the channel takes a sharp hook. It is very shallow on the left all the way up to the old bridge, but that pt is an abrupt change where it jogs.
There used to be stripers down there when I was a kid. I guess they didn't reproduce and died out. For what it is worth, I was told that the current stripers were put in by the Arkansas DNR.
I either use anise of a homemade garlic which comes in spreading or dipping consistancies, but mostly nothing since I don't really think it matters except when those scaley things are really picky.

In the off(closed) season there in nothing but boondocking available and they don't charge for that. Sometime around March the COE will turn on the electricity and begin their Shoulder Season. You will not have water or showers and the cost is about 1/2 of normal. This runs until the parks open in April.
The State Park normally keeps the electricity on all year but they also charge for it.
