Kayak Trip #56, Lake Fort Smith, Arkansas, 10-21-12

This trip wasn't exactly in the Waupaca area... but we were on a family vacation in Arkansas and couldn't pass up the chance to take advantage of the warm weather. We rented kayaks from the marina at Lake Fort Smith State Park and paddled the reservoir. Because of the drought, our preferred destination of the Buffalo National River had to be put on hold because there wasn't enough water. Maybe next trip...

Lake Fort Smith was quite lovely, set in the Ozark Mountains. The day was overcast and hazy, so the autumn colors weren't quite as bright as we had hoped for, but it was still beautiful. Our two daughters were with us, so that made the day even more fun. The drive through the mountains was pretty, too.
