Dock Road Boat Ramp on the White River at Bull Shoals Lake provides convenient access for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters. The ramp is located within the Buck Creek Campground, which is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The ramp offers direct access to the southern end of Bull Shoals Lake, a large reservoir known for its excellent trout fishing and scenic Ozark setting. The White River below the dam is a renowned trout stream, while the lake itself is popular for motor boating, waterskiing, and other water sports. Kayakers and canoeists can explore both the river and the lake from this access point.
Amenities at the Buck Creek site include a campground, picnic area, and the Peel Ferry, which connects Arkansas and Missouri across the lake. Boaters should be aware of typical lake conditions, including changing water levels, and plan accordingly. Overall, the Dock Road ramp provides a useful put-in for paddlers and small boaters to access the White River and Bull Shoals Lake.
