Everything about The Cossatot River totally explained
The
Cossatot River is a river in the

Cossatot is an Indian word for "skull crusher". The Cossatot is known as an extremely difficult (class II - IV+) whitewater stream to
canoeists and
kayakers and a section at Cossatot Falls in
Howard County, Arkansas has been called "the most challenging section of whitewater between the Smokies and the Rockies". An 11 mile (18 km) section including Cossatot Falls is designated as the
Cossatot River State Park-Natural Area.
The Cossatot begins in the

Gillham Lake the river becomes leisurely until it joins with the
Little River at the sight where it empties into
Millwood Lake.

Camping sites are located in the State Park area and at the nearby Brushy Creek Recreation area.
