OMP Spring Outing 2025!

by Ozark Mountain Paddlers on February 5, 2025

Mark your calendars for May 16th – 18th (FRIDAY – SUNDAY) for OMP’s Spring Outing 2025 near Turner Bend on the Mulberry River in Arkansas!

We are trying the new Around The Bend campsite locations 1,2, and 3 this year as they are a quieter setting away from the highway and offer bathrooms and showers without having to cross the road. There are also RV sites available at this location that have full electric and water hookups for those so inclined. You will need to go on-line to Turner Bend to book your RV site.

More info coming soon, stay tuned to this post!
