The Blue Ridge boat ramp provides access to the Saline River, a large headwater stream in western Arkansas. The ramp is located within the Blue Ridge Park, a campground managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The Saline River is a sizable waterway, spanning over 750 miles in length with an average flow of over 4,300 cubic feet per second. Paddlers and boaters can expect moderate current and a gentle gradient along this section of the river. The ramp sits near the upper reaches of the Saline, about 2,200 miles from the river's mouth.
The boat ramp appears to be a concrete slab design, providing direct access to the water. Nearby recreation areas include Gillham Lake and Dierks Lake, offering additional opportunities for fishing, camping, and water-based activities. Visitors should contact the Blue Ridge Park at 870-286-2346 for current information on facility availability and any applicable fees.
