About This Access Site
The Greenville Bridge boat ramp provides access to the mighty Mississippi River in Chicot County, Arkansas. Paddlers and small boaters can launch from the middle ramp, located between the "city" and "of" on the "Greenville Port City of the Delta" signage along the levee.

The Mississippi River is a major, high-volume waterway, with an average flow of over 685,000 cubic feet per second. At this location, the river is over 1,900 miles long, with an elevation drop of 1,467 feet from source to mouth. The average gradient is 0.8 feet per mile, so boaters should be prepared for potentially swift currents, especially during periods of high water.

This access site is well-suited for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats to explore the mighty Mississippi. Paddlers should exercise caution due to the river's size, power, and commercial barge traffic. Check water levels and weather conditions before heading out, and plan your trip accordingly.
