The Cossatot is one of Arkansas' most scenic rivers as and is probably the most challenging whitewater float in Arkansas.. Early Indians called it Cossatot, which means "skull crusher."
The Cossatot River begins in the Ouachita Mountains southeast of Mena, Arkansas. It flows in a southerly direction for about 26 miles to Gillham Lake.
The Cossatot River has class I through class V rapids, thus much of the river's whitewater is not recommended for the beginner paddlers.
