do here at Collins Lake. A lake close by is Otahki Lake, and a tremendous panorama of gorgeous Crowley Hill is available. The high level of precipitation makes Collins Lake a reasonably wet site; the month with most of the rain is
March; January is the month with the least moisture. Having a perfect time in the Ozarks is easy. Get dripping wet paddling on Big Creek, and going for a hike along the Johnson Natural Area Backpack Trail will let you absorb the natural
beauty of this area. Collier Creek flows through this region, and whitewater paddling is great on St. Francis River. This lake is so wonderful. There's so much to do here at Collins Lake that you need to camp here for a while,
Holliday Landing Resort is a delightful spot for that, naturally you could also pop by Lake Potashnik while you're here; it's not far at all.

Big Creek
 | I kayaked the big creek May 5 at 3ft from Des Arc to Sam A. Baker take out at 143 bridge, it was an 11 mile float and very enjoible for Missouri waters. There were whitewater sections about every 1/4 mile and was all under class II, the rock gardens kept me on my toes but was not difficult at all. I would recomend trying this creek (river) to anyone seeking excitment and is not to experienced to try the St. Francis. Cheers!... |
