Night in DeValls Bluff – Friday 14th

Admission to a community event Friday night will be inside 106 South Main in downtown DeValls Bluff. We will have food provided by a local restaurant and music by local artists. It will prove to be a night you’ll never forget!

deltaDRIFT general admission ticket includes:

Self-supported* float: Dropping float gear at the put-in point along Highway 17 (Benson Creek Access) you will drive to the end of the float route and park at Apple Lake Access. There you will be transported back to the put-in where you can start your float. After a handful of miles, we will stop off at Hickson Lake for a catered BBQ lunch. This will serve as an optional take-out point and transportation will be provided to get you to your vehicle. Once lunch is finished, we’ll resume our journey and float back down to Apple Lake where your vehicle will be waiting. On top of all this you’ll also get some deltaDrift swag!

All proceeds from this event go to support the mission of studioDRIFT and our events. These events attempt to bring awareness to the incredible delta region of Arkansas. Specifically, our efforts in DeValls Bluff focus on creating a hub to anchor our vision for a Delta where local communities might thrive again with a renewed focus on the surrounding natural resources, which include: bike and water trails, local food, local music, culture, and historic structures, which could soon be gone without an effort to preserve their storied past and create a new future for one of the most unique places on Earth.

Thank you to our sponsors, EDG and Ozark Outdoor Foundation, without them none of this would be possible!
