Narrows Dam

The Narrows Dam access site provides convenient launching for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats on the Little Missouri River and Lake Greeson in Pike County, Arkansas. This federal recreation area is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and features a boat ramp, swim beach, and nearby Arrowhead Point Campground.

The Narrows Dam impounds the clear, cool waters of the Little Missouri River, creating the 93,000-acre Lake Greeson. This scenic waterway offers excellent fishing, hunting, and boating opportunities. From the access site, paddlers can explore the river's winding course and tranquil coves, or venture onto the larger lake. The river itself is typically gentle and navigable, making it well-suited for a range of small craft.

Visitors should note that facilities at the Narrows Dam access site are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Camping is available at the nearby Arrowhead Point Campground, which can be reserved in advance. Boaters should always exercise caution and familiarize themselves with local water conditions before launching.
