He hand drew a map that took us on a proper Arkansas adventure that we will never forget! =P You could stop here and call them now or just keep reading all the other reviews that say the exact same thing.

Our initial experience with Crockett's was several years ago, the river was too high for us to…read morefloat with the small kids we had with us. We were camping at Spring Creek. When the river had dropped enough to float, Amanda and Creed showed up with rafts - much more suitable and safe for our group at the time. Since then, Crockett's have been our absolute go-to whenever we float in this area. We've rented and day-floated many times. We've floated overnight several times. They've shuttled our vehicles to a variety of locations as we ventured up and down for more of the Buffalo. Crockett's have always offered the best and most dependable advice - and have ALWAYS under promised and then over delivered!

The quoted price from 45$ per canoe was changed to 65$. She said we can't cancel, but we have to pay and they would give us a one year credit. We went to wild bills who had put in people all day long and had no issues at all. I would not recommend setting your expectations for this outfitter.

My…read morenieces and I embarked on a float trip today on Crooked Creek, and it was truly a day of pure joy. The weather was flawless, and the creek's gentle flow perfectly complemented our adventure. Gabe's expertise and warm guidance made all the difference, as he walked us through the process and empowered the least experienced among us to grasp the basics. As we set off, laughter and excitement filled the air - a testament to the magic of Crooked Creek Outfitters. Given our busy lives, it's rare for the three of us to come together, but Crooked Creek Outfitters made this reunion seamless and effortless. All we had to focus on was soaking in the breathtaking beauty. Thank you, Gabriel Novak, for crafting memories that will last a lifetime. Also the cost was extremely reasonable. If you think you can't afford a float trip call Gabe his prices are shocking!

I had a great time here! My family did too!…read more We stayed in one of their cabins and rented four kayaks for a river adventure. Cabin was pretty good. Clean, well maintained, and ample amenities present. Mini split did a great job keeping up with the 94 degree heat outside. It had a covered back porch with chairs and a swing. Out front was a fire pit, a PK brand grill, and a picnic table. Great amenities. Comfy bed and all appliances worked properly. The kayak rentals are expensive in my opinion. But, they do have a market for them and I am sure the insurance and operations of this place cost a dime at least. I wonder how many people drown on the river a year. Hmmm. I'll have to research. I would absolutely come back here in a heartbeat. The river was great. They moved our vehicle to the pick up spot for us. The process of getting the rentals was easy and efficient. I really enjoyed our day on the river. The gift shop has just about anything that you might need, and probably a lot that you do not need I would say. '26 - 105

Wild Bills was recommended to me and the rental and floating experience was seamless. I rented a kayak for the 10 mile float. It was late June and the water was perfect and the float was scenic. John provided a bronco busting bus ride to the river. The people at the shop were friendly and helpful. Kayak rental was $69 plus tax. But they do provide a 30 minute bus ride to the drop off to save you the trouble of running cars.

We showed up late in the canoe season. Asked about renting a canoe for a 6.5 hour trip on the…read moreriver. Unfortunately, we do not believe what we were told about the conditions of the river were true. The man behind the counter told us that we may have to, drag our canoe through a couple of spots but no big deal. After setting up camp in Buffalo point campground and actually taking a look at the river and seeing people come off the river, everyone was dragging canoes and Buffalo point, most of the river was just simply ankle deep, we would've had to drag a canoe for miles through slippery rocks to get to the destination for pick up. So one of two things happened, the owners of wild Bill outfitter do not know the river conditions or they did not tell us the truth. So unfortunate. Needless to say, we did not show up the next morning bright and early to rent anything. I felt like I dodged a $100 bullet of frustration by not renting from these people. And I would not recommend wild bills outfitter for river conditions, information, go look for yourself.

My father has been fishing with Hurst for a number of years. My husband and I made a trip back to…read morethe mainland, and my dad decided to take us fishing at his favorite place as well. We had Jamie and Curtis as our guides for a two day trip. This is definitely a full service place. They tie your hook, bait it, and tell you when to reel it in... then when you get a fish they take it off for you. I enjoy getting in there and playing with the bait and the fish, so by the second day I convinced Curtis to let me pick my crawfish and bait the hook and even take a few fish off of the hook as well. These guides really know where the fish are, and what to use to catch them. They provide lunch on some of the trips, which is generally good (store bought) food. I would suggest this service to anybody.

The fishing is always excellent and Jamie (owner) is very knowledgable of the river. They take good care of you just like family! The shore lunches are savory & the scenery is magnificent... The total package! They give you quality information on how to fish from beginner to expert. They also offer canoes, single/double kayaks, guided scenic tours, guided fishing tours (includes overnight camping or half day), and beginner to advanced fly fishing tours - there is something fun for the whole family!! I highly recommend Hurst Fishing Service over any other services offered on this river.
