Short Mountain Cove

The Short Mountain Cove boat ramp provides convenient access to the Arkansas River's Robert S. Kerr Reservoir in LeFlore County, Oklahoma. This reservoir is part of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System, which allows barge traffic to navigate the river.

The boat ramp makes it easy for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats to launch and enjoy the broad, deep waters of the reservoir. The surrounding area offers excellent fishing for crappie, sand bass, catfish, and black bass. Boating, kayaking, and other water sports are popular activities on the lake.

Nearby recreation areas include the Arkansas River - Robert S. Kerr Pool and the Arkansas River - W.D. Mayo Pool, both of which offer scenic natural surroundings and historic sites like ancient Indian mounds. Visitors can take advantage of other facilities in the area, such as picnic areas, campsites, and hiking trails, to make the most of their time on the water.
