Possum Walk Creek

Possum Walk Creek is a real gem! This one is located just North of the small town of Drasco, AR. between Heber Springs and Batesville. It is real unique in the fact that is has a substantial watershed for a steep Ozark Creek (~ 9 square miles) before plunging into a small gorge. The gorge is about 1.5 miles long with several tough drops. The put-in actually on a paved county road 1.75 miles off of Hwy 5/25, you don't find that very often in the Ozarks! The creek runs through private land the entire length so please be respectful to the landowners.
