SUMMARY:Black Friday Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:Join Saline River Canoe\, Arkansas Watertrails Partnership\, and ACC BOATR for the 14th Annual Black Friday Cleanup! Details may change\, but what we are thinking at this time is that we will once again try to have a “downriver” opportunity for those who would like that\, which will most likely be a float from Lyle Park to the Saline River Crossing led by the famous (infamous?) “Chicago Bob” Tyler\, and then a land-based crew that will hit two areas – the flood debris from a former homeless camp near the Interstate 30 crossing\, and the area near the Saline River Crossing\, including a spot known to be subject to illegal dumping.\n\n\n\nSuitable attire for the land-based crew will be any outdoor clothing you are comfortable in\, sturdy shoes\, muck boots\, or hiking boots\, and work gloves. If you have any trash pickers\, you might want to bring them. Bags and “specialty tools” like shovels and saws will be available.\n\n\n\nThe downriver trip will most likely be from Lyle Park to the newly refurbished bridge at the Saline River Crossing. Water level is at 53 cfs on 11/13\, which would mean one or two wades might occur\, but there are several days with rain in the forecast\, so anything is possible\, and it will likely be better. Distance is 3.6 miles\, so this crew should be able to join the Land-Based Crew for the afternoon hot dogs. Boats will be available\, or you can bring your own. Shuttle will be provided. You need to have your own “temperature-appropriate” river clothing. That could be a drysuit\, a wetsuit\, or just a dry bag with a change of warm clothes\, as long as you’ve got some level of experience boating in cooler temperatures with whatever setup you choose.\n\n\n\nForecast (updated 11/13): High of 60 degrees\, 20% chance of rain. (Check back for updates)\n\n\n\nNote: We are not creating an “Event” page due to Facebook restrictions on editing Event details as needed\, but feel free to share this post with others. Just let us know in the comments if you think you might be able to join\, and we will try to not run out of hot dogs and/or burgers!

SUMMARY:The Triple C at Woolly Hollow
DESCRIPTION:This is an annual trail race in memory of Curtis Colt Childress\, who was killed in a motorcycle accident on September 26\, 2024.   The race distances are 10\, 4\, and 1 miles through the trails at Woolly Hollow State Park.  All proceeds will go to the Cabugcayan Mission/Biliran Church of Christ in the Philippines\, which is where Curtis’s wife\, Ruby\, and daughter\, Curtlyn\, live.  Donations are appreciated! \nThe Triple C takes place on the first Saturday of December because Curtis was born on December 6th.  Curtis loved children and never met a stranger in his life\, so the 1 mile fun run/walk is set up for children or anyone else who doesn’t want to run or just wants a short trail experience. \nThe 10 miles course takes place along a short paved section at the back of the park and follows the Enders Fault Mountain Bike Trail\, ending at the top of the dirt access road in the Enders Fault gravel parking lot.  The 4 miles course begins on the paved road by the pavilion\, follows the Huckleberry Trail through the woods and along a short section of the main paved road\, runs by the falls\, around the lake\, up the dirt access road\, and finishes in the Enders Fault gravel parking lot.  The 1 mile course begins on pavement just past the pavilion\, runs through the gravel Enders Fault parking lot\, down the dirt access road with a turnaround back to the finish in the gravel parking lot. Awards will be given to the top three male and female finishers of the 10 and 4 miles courses. \nThis race is great for beginner trail runners\, those more experienced runners who want to hit a PR on shorter courses\, anyone looking to get in a solid training race for something bigger\, and anyone else who just wants to support our cause by spending some time in nature and getting awesome swag\, to boot! We hope to see everyone out there with us\, can’t wait to meet new faces\, and are so excited to be honoring the memory of Curtis by doing something he loved in the Park that was an integral part of his life. \nWoolly Hollow is a leave no trace state park.  Trash bags will be available at aid stations\, and there will be two\, one on the 10 miler around 4.5 miles and on the 4 miler before the waterfall. Please stash your trash! \nIN-PERSON REGISTRATIONS AFTER 11/6/25 WILL NOT BE GUARANTEED A SHIRT.  VIRTUAL REGISTRATIONS AFTER 11/6/25 WILL NOT BE GUARANTEED A SHIRT OR MEDAL.  Virtual packets will be mailed after the final completion date of 12/31/25.
