The Quarry Cove Recreation Area provides convenient access to the Fourche La Fave River and Nimrod Lake for kayakers, canoeists, and other small boaters. The boat ramp here is one of 11 located around the lake, making it easy to launch your non-motorized craft.
Nimrod Lake is a scenic reservoir nestled between the Ouachita and Ozark Mountains, offering great fishing opportunities. The Fourche La Fave River flows into the lake, providing paddle-friendly waters for exploring. While motorized boating and water sports like skiing are allowed in parts of the lake, the areas around the boat ramp here are generally calmer and better suited for human-powered craft.
Quarry Cove Campground, which is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, provides campsites, a swimming beach, and other amenities nearby. Visitors can also find additional recreation options at the adjacent Holla Bend National Wildlife Refuge. Whether you're looking to launch your kayak or canoe, or simply enjoy the scenic setting, the Quarry Cove boat ramp provides a convenient access point to the Fourche La Fave River and Nimrod Lake.
