Adventure for Every Season
Ain’t Autumn Yet
It’s hot, fellow adventurers. This is not news. August is the time of year we really start to yearn for fall in Arkansas, but there’s no sense wishing our lives away when there’s plenty of excellent Arkansas adventure at our fingertips now. Where? We thought you’d never ask! Lake Catherine State Park By now many […]
Autumn Arkansas Adventure
We’d like to say a special thanks to our friend Debbie Marie Smith for the photo of the elk at Boxley. If you have any interest in outdoor photography (and who doesn’t?) you’ll want to keep an especially close eye on our website. We plan to begin featuring outdoor photographers like Debbie from time to […]
Chills
Fellow adventurers, there’s no getting around it. It’s winter. Sure it’s Arkansas and we vacillate between 20° and 70° like a church camp bunkhouse, but winter adventure means being prepared, and the good news is if you are prepared you’re up for some chills. No, not those chills – the chills that come from seeing […]
Merry…Adventuremas!
My fellow adventurers, we’ve survived another year. It’s been interesting to say the least. We seem to be arguing with each other a lot these days, but one thing I think we can all agree on is how critical it is to get out there. The Arkansas Adventuregram crew will spend part of the holidays […]
Septober
Cover Photo Courtesy of Arkansas State Parks Fellow adventurers, we’ve made it! Another splendid but scorching summer season has come and gone and left us with………. something I like to call Septober. Before you question my sanity (you’d have to take a number) let me assure you I haven’t forgotten how to spell September, or […]
Socially Responsible Adventure
My friends, these are strange times – troubling times. COVID-19 has officially set up shop in The Natural State. It will eventually grow tired of us, but it’s unlikely to go quietly or soon. Opinions, some of them informed and some of them, well, not, vary on the best way to wait out the Corona […]
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
A note about the featured image: You may recall we recently made the decision to no longer build fires directly on gravel bars, choosing instead to use a fire pan. This photo precedes that decision, but we love it, and it gives us an opportunity to point out that adventure the right way is a constantly […]
Water Water Everywhere!
Ah, (late) spring. The time when every young (and old) adventurer’s fancy turns to water. Fellow adventurers, there’s no doubt! We’ve had plenty. Unfortunately we’ve also had plenty of tragedies to go along with it. Sometimes despite our best efforts things go wrong on the water, but there are preparations we can make to minimize […]
The Crew
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!
