      Thank you so much! I was hoping you might watch this! I learned so much about USACE that I never knew.

    That dam and park are one of my favorites.
    I wish they took better care of the bathrooms and camping areas.
    Toad Suck is really well cared for, I wish they would do the same at Morrilton.
    Great video y'all!
    Loved it.
    I did a Dam tour years ago as a kid. Can't remember which but it was awesome.

      @@WholeOtherLevelOutdoors I have never camped at that campground but we camp at toads up quite a bit. Toad suck is very well kept and I think it has a lot to do with the camp hosts. Unfortunately, this summer was their last. They have retired. I hope the new hosts are just as good.

    We enjoy your videos!! Trying to find info on Sequoyah Park, across from this lock and dam, we’ve been to Cherokee COE Park just out of Morrelton but couldn’t find Sequoyah Park.

      You know what, I'm glad you mentioned that. I've been researching it further and I think that is Cherokee. I was told it's Sequoyah but I can't find it online either. All my maps are telling me it's Cherokee. When you camped at Cherokee, did you have a view of the lock and dam?

      We were just checking out the campground and could see the lock and dam right across the river. We are retired and try to camp as often as possible, especially if the campground is on a river within a lock and dam. Thank you so much for replying back, God bless!

    I could have watched this video by now, but I'm near the end of this eclipse/beach/jury duty trip that's consumed most of April, and my brain's all tired and sweaty. I've had the video paused on that opening scene, just staring at it in between other tasks. It's so pretty.

      Good pan on that opening scene. I still can't do pans very well. The speed always seems to be either too fast or too slow.

    Have you ever watched the barges go through the locks?

      @arkansasoutpost 7 місяців тому

      Not the big barges or big locks. I did see video of a canal boat going through a manually operated lock in the UK. The doors at each end have big levers you have to get out and move to open or close the lock.
