Old Walnut Bend

The Old Walnut Bend boat ramp provides public access to the Old Walnut Bend, a strategic location on the banks of the Arkansas River. This functional but primitive boat ramp is situated on the right descending bank at the bottom of Walnut Bend, offering boaters and paddlers a convenient launch point.

The ramp itself is a mix of revetment, gravel, and rock, making it suitable for most watercraft. However, boaters should be aware that this is a basic access point without additional amenities like a courtesy dock or ADA facilities. As the ramp is located on the edge of a large eddy, paddlers and small boat users should exercise caution when launching and navigating the area.

While specific details on hours of operation or fees are not available, the Old Walnut Bend boat ramp provides a valuable access point for those exploring the Arkansas River. Kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats can utilize this ramp to access the river and enjoy the natural surroundings of this scenic bend.
