About This Access Site
The Road 61 boat ramp provides access to the upper White River near the town of Norfork, Arkansas. This section of the river is characterized by a relatively high gradient and flows, with an average velocity of around 5.8 feet per second. Boaters and paddlers should exercise caution due to the river's size and power.
The ramp is suitable for launching small to medium-sized watercraft like kayaks, canoes, and flat-bottom boats. However, access may be limited during low water levels. Nearby recreation areas include Norfork Lake, which offers a mix of open water and sheltered coves ideal for various water sports.
While specifics on fees or operating hours are not available, the Road 61 access point offers a convenient put-in for those wishing to explore this headwater region of the 1,052-mile-long White River. Anglers may have the opportunity to target species like largemouth bass, spotted bass, sauger, and walleye in this section of the waterway.
