The Caddo Road boat ramp provides convenient access to the Caddo River, a scenic headwater stream in southwest Arkansas. This large river flows for over 80 miles, dropping nearly 1,200 feet in elevation from its source to its mouth.
The boat ramp is a popular put-in point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats. The river at this location is classified as a "large river" with an average flow of around 850 cubic feet per second and a mild gradient of about 14 feet per mile. This makes for pleasant, easy-going paddling conditions well-suited for beginners and families.
While there are no specific details available on hours or fees, the boat ramp appears to be accessible year-round for those wanting to explore the Caddo River. Nearby outfitters in Glenwood can provide additional information and rental equipment for those without their own boats. Paddlers should be prepared for the river's relatively fast current and plan their trips accordingly.
