i was searching a swamp like place and i found these plants. looks like God put them here for arrows.   Its got gray bark with these little whiteish spots.

my description is pretty bad so if you need it i will post pics

Hillbilly:
Post some pics if you can. Sounds like it could be dogwood, if not, it might be something else just as good or better.

DanaM:
red osier is hard to miss as the bark is red on the younger stalks. David by now you should know to post pics  :o

david w.:
i did see some little red shoots

just a minute Dana pics are soon to come ;)

richpierce:
Red osier is just shoots, not a tree- a clump of shoots all starting right at the ground and they are red for the upper 2/3 at least.  Other dogwoods are like a tree or bush with a main trunk and branches coming off that.  Rememebr on dogwood the branches and leaves are all "opposite" nopt alternate- so if a branch comes off one side of the trunk, there will be another exactly opposite it.  All dogwoods are good for arrows.
