The Remmel Dam Road boat ramp provides access to the Ouachita River, a major river system in central Arkansas. The Ouachita River is over 500 miles long and drains an 18,886 square mile watershed, with an average flow of over 27,000 cubic feet per second.
The boat ramp is located near the Remmel Dam, which creates a continuous release of 200-500 cfs, providing sufficient water levels for kayaking and canoeing. This section of the Ouachita River has an average gradient of 3 feet per mile, making for a relatively gentle and scenic paddle. The river is wide and deep enough to accommodate small powerboats as well.
Nearby recreation areas include the Ouachita National Forest and Hot Springs National Park, offering opportunities for hiking, fishing, and other outdoor activities. The boat ramp provides a convenient access point to explore this beautiful, free-flowing river system. Before your trip, be sure to check current water levels and conditions through the USGS or other local resources.
