About This Access Site
The Interstate 40 Bridge boat ramp on the White River in Hazen, Arkansas provides direct access to this major waterway. The White River is a large, fast-flowing river, with an average flow of over 34,000 cubic feet per second and a total elevation drop of nearly 7,800 feet over its 1,052-mile length.
This access site features a large parking lot under the Interstate 40 bridge, along with a boat ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats. The ramp is situated approximately 15 river miles below Dam 1 at Batesville and 7 miles above the Oil Trough Access site. While specific hours or fees are not known, the site appears to be open for public use. Paddlers and boaters should use caution on this powerful river, being mindful of the swift current and potential navigation hazards.
For those seeking a more secluded river access, the Riverbank Road ramp south of Batesville may be a good alternative, though it lacks the amenities of the Interstate 40 site. Overall, the Interstate 40 Bridge provides convenient access to explore the scenic and challenging White River in this region of central Arkansas.
