Coal Creek

The Coal Creek boat ramp provides access to the Verdigris River, a major waterway in eastern Oklahoma. The Verdigris is a large, navigable river with an average flow of over 6,500 cubic feet per second and a total drop of 576 feet over its 311-mile length.

The Coal Creek ramp is a simple, unimproved launch site, making it well-suited for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats. There is no dock or other amenities at this location. Paddlers and boaters should exercise caution when launching, as the river current can be swift. The surrounding area offers few services, so recreationists should come prepared with all necessary supplies.

For those seeking more developed river access, the nearby Bluff Landing site on the Verdigris offers a more robust boat ramp and parking area, about 12 miles east of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Additionally, the Oolagah Lake - Verdigris River Ramp provides access to the lake and its connection to the broader Verdigris River system.
