The Gravel Hill Road Bridge access site on Bayou Des Arc provides a convenient boat launch for paddlers and small motorized boats. The site features a gravel ramp that can accommodate kayaks, canoes, and small trailered boats.
Bayou Des Arc is a scenic, meandering waterway in central Arkansas. The bayou is generally calm and slow-moving, making it well-suited for peaceful paddle trips. Depths are typically shallow to moderate, so this site is best suited for kayaks, canoes, and small johnboats. Boaters should be aware of submerged obstacles and plan accordingly.
Parking is available adjacent to the launch area, with space for several vehicles and boat trailers. No additional amenities or services are provided on-site, so paddlers and boaters should come prepared with all necessary gear and supplies. This access point offers a straightforward put-in for exploring the Bayou Des Arc waterway.
