Hogscald

The Hogscald access site provides a convenient boat ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats onto Big Clifty Creek, which flows into Beaver Lake in the Ozark Mountains of northwest Arkansas. The ramp is located near the town of Eureka Springs in Carroll County.

This access point is popular with paddlers looking to explore the scenic Hogscald Hollow area. After launching, boaters can paddle upstream to enjoy the area's natural beauty, including picturesque waterfalls that are especially impressive after heavy rainfall. The creek is relatively small in size, making it well-suited for human-powered craft. Nearby campgrounds and recreation areas around Beaver Lake offer additional options for overnight stays and exploring the surrounding Ozark terrain.

While the road leading to the Hogscald access site may be challenging for some vehicles, an alternative option is to launch from the Big Clifty Park boat ramp and paddle over to Hogscald Hollow. This allows paddlers to access the same scenic creek without the concern of the access road. Overall, the Hogscald site provides a convenient entry point for those looking to experience the natural wonders of Big Clifty Creek and the Beaver Lake region.
