About This Access Site
The Highway 63 Bridge boat ramp provides access to the Saline River near the town of Rye in Bradley County, Arkansas. As a large headwater stream, the Saline River is approximately 754 miles long with an average flow of over 4,300 cubic feet per second and a gradient of 3.7 feet per mile. This makes it a substantial river suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and small motorized boat use.

The ramp itself is a publicly accessible launch point maintained by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. It provides a paved entry point into the river, with nearby parking available. However, specific details on hours, fees, or amenities are not officially confirmed. Paddlers and boaters should be prepared for variable water levels and flow, and use caution when launching and navigating this sizeable Ozark stream. Other nearby public access points along the Saline River may be available, but their status can change over time.
