The Legend of Toad Suck
Long ago, steamboats traveled up and down the Arkansas River when the water was at the right depth. When it wasn’t, the boats and their crew tied up to wait where the Toad Suck Lock and Dam now spans the river. While they waited, they got drinks at the local tavern. The folks living nearby said: “They suck on the bottle ’til they swell up like toads.” Hence, the name Toad Suck. The tavern is long gone, but the legend and fun live on at Toad Suck Daze. |
