Sunflower River

Grab your canoe or kayak and take a trip along the Sunflower River. This tributary runs through Downtown Clarksdale, and is accessible to the public for free! Head down to Soldiers Field, which runs along the river, for a game of disc golf or a riverside picnic. There’s also a walking trail to get some exercise and take in the sites.

There are a couple of paddling trails our canoe and kayak guests can take advantage of. One starts and ends in the downtown are at Quapaw Canoe Co., and the other begins about 10 miles outside of town & ends downtown. You can view the details of each paddling trail here.
