Just the Place – Lower Buffalo River
Fellow adventurers, have you decided it’s finally time to try a multi-day float? And if you have, are you wondering where that float should be? Well, good – I know just the place! Okay Deuce, where? I’m glad you asked! No, not the bow of Blue Steel....
Sweet Release

Blue Steel: the Anatomy of an Oar Raft

Welcome from the Arkansas Adventure Guide crew! We’d love to tell you a little about ourselves.
Deuce
Luke “Deuce” Coop is a lover of adventure and the written word. He’s paddled, rowed, camped, fished and hiked across the map but his favorite outdoor adventure playground is his own back yard. Whether he’s float camping the Buffalo, paddling the Mulberry, Little Missouri or Big Piney or hiking the Ouachita or Buffalo River trails he’s right at home adventuring in Arkansas, and thanks to Arkansas Adventure Guide he can take you along. He looks forward to seeing you out there!
Bec
Bec Dwyer-Coop can be found around The Natural State float camping, stand-up paddle boarding or gazing up from a gravel bar at night at the holes in the blanket. She adds a fresh and unhurried perspective to Arkansas adventure and to The Guide and is an indispensable part of the crew. She’s also Izzy the Adventure Dog’s mom.
Izzy the Adventure Dog
Izzy’s job is to provide snuggles, lessons and laughs. In all three endeavors she exceeds expectations while also enriching every adventure the crew undertakes. If you’re not familiar with her origin story CLICK HERE to give it a read, then join her (and the rest of the crew) for more adventure!
