River Description

The full length run has seven "waterfalls" & several waves.

According to Kayak 111 "You may not think it, but there is a whitwater creek in Mississippi! It is the Okatoma creek, it offers three class I falls and chutes. If the water is right, surfing is possible. The trip can be completed in three and one half hours. It depends on how much time you spend swimming in the water. If you live near by it is certainly worth the drive."
