The Nursery Pond Road boat ramp provides access to Palarm Creek and the larger Lake Conway in Faulkner County, Arkansas. This ramp is a convenient put-in point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats looking to explore this scenic waterway.
Palarm Creek is a tributary of the Arkansas River, flowing into the eastern edge of Lake Conway. The creek and lake offer peaceful paddling opportunities, with relatively calm, slow-moving water suitable for novice and intermediate boaters. The lake is well-known for its excellent crappie fishing, and the nearby Nursery Pond is an important habitat for maintaining the lake's crappie population.
Boaters should be aware that the Nursery Pond itself has a "no wake" policy in place. The boat ramp has a small gravel parking area nearby. While specifics on hours of operation or fees are not available, this public access site should provide a useful launching point for exploring the Palarm Creek and Lake Conway waterways by small craft.
