About This Access Site
Shilcotts Bayou Boat Ramp provides access to the Arkansas River in North Little Rock, Arkansas. This boat launch is situated along a major waterway, the Arkansas River, which is over 1,200 miles long and drains a massive 133,912 square mile watershed.
The river at this location has an average flow of over 51,000 cubic feet per second and an average gradient of 7.9 feet per mile, making it a substantial and dynamic waterway popular with kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters. Nearby recreation areas include the Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site and the Terry Lock and Dam on the Arkansas River.
While specific details about hours of operation or fees are not available, the boat ramp appears to offer a convenient public access point to explore this major river system. Paddlers and boaters should review river conditions, plan appropriately for the Arkansas River's size and flow, and exercise caution when launching and navigating this powerful waterway.
