About This Access Site
The Cariola Road boat ramp provides access to the mighty Mississippi River in Chicot County, Arkansas. This major river access point is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats.

The Mississippi River at this location is a massive waterway, stretching over 1,900 miles and draining an immense 993,000 square mile watershed. With an average flow of nearly 700,000 cubic feet per second and a velocity over 11 feet per second, paddlers should exercise caution, especially in high water conditions. The river gradient here is relatively mild at 0.8 feet per mile.

Nearby recreation areas include the Yazoo National Wildlife Refuge, providing additional opportunities for wildlife viewing and exploration along the river. Paddlers and boaters should consult maps and plan accordingly for their Mississippi River experience at the Cariola Road access point.
