The Blakely Mountain Dam boat ramp on Lake Ouachita provides convenient access for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats. Located just below the Blakely Mountain Dam, this quiet access point offers a simple boat launch into the crystal-clear waters of Lake Ouachita.
Lake Ouachita is a large reservoir spanning over 40,000 acres, with depths reaching over 200 feet in some areas. The lake is known for its excellent fishing and scenic shoreline, making it a popular destination for recreational boaters and paddlers. The Spillway Ramp is the recommended access point for reaching the lake from this site.
For those looking to explore further, the nearby Avery Day-Use Area also offers a public boat ramp for accessing Lake Ouachita and the adjacent Lake Hamilton. With limited amenities on-site, paddlers and boaters should come prepared with any necessary supplies and safety gear. As always, it's important to check current lake conditions and regulations before launching.
