North Sylamore Creek
North Sylamore Creek is located in Stone County in north-central Arkansas. It flows through the Blanchard Springs Recreation Complex, which provides camping, swimming and hiking, and includes the famous Blanchard Caverns. North Sylamore Creek is a very productive smallmouth bass fishery and supports a high diversity of fish species. Endangered species of bats utilize the stream corridor for foraging.
Several plant species listed as sensitive by the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission are located along the stream corridor, with the largest concentrations being within Clifty Canyon Special Interest Area, which lies just north of the river corridor.
