Long Creek flows through Boone and Carroll Counties in northwest Arkansas as a tributary of Yocum Creek. This scenic waterway supports a diverse fishery including smallmouth bass, bluegills, catfish, and other warmwater species. The creek offers intimate fishing experiences with its varied structure and relatively accessible waters along major highway crossings. As part of the Ozark stream system, Long Creek provides both wade fishing and limited float opportunities depending on seasonal water levels. The creek's character changes throughout its course, from smaller headwater sections to more substantial flows as it approaches its confluence with Yocum Creek.
