About This Access Site
Arkoma Park offers convenient river access to the Poteau River, a large headwater stream in eastern Oklahoma. The boat ramp provides easy put-in for kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats.

The Poteau River is a sizeable waterway, stretching over 140 miles with an average flow of 2,070 cubic feet per second. Paddlers can expect a relatively gentle, 4-foot-per-mile gradient as they explore this sixth-order river. The river's character shifts as it flows from its higher-elevation headwaters down to its junction with the Arkansas River, providing opportunities for both leisurely floats and more adventurous trips.

Situated just off Highway 9A in the town of Arkoma, this access point offers a practical launching spot for those looking to experience the Poteau River. Parking is available, making it easy to stage your watercraft before heading out on the water.
