The Lake Hinkle (East) boat ramp provides easy access to Jones Creek and the 960-acre Lake Hinkle in Scott County, Arkansas. This public boat ramp, operated by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, is available for use at no charge.
The ramp allows for the launching of kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats to explore the scenic lake and creek. Lake Hinkle is a popular destination for fishing, with largemouth bass, crappie, and catfish found in the waters. Nearby amenities include the Little Pines Campground, located within 10 miles, which offers reservable campsites.
Paddlers and boaters should be aware of changing water levels, as the minimum lake level at the ramp can impact usability. Additional public access points on Lake Hinkle include the Dam Access and Church Access, each with their own boat ramps and other facilities. Visitors are advised to check current fees and regulations before their visit.
