Connelly Bayou is a boat ramp and access site located on the northwest portion of Lake Chicot in Lake Village, Arkansas. This ramp provides a convenient launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats to access the 20-mile long lake.
Lake Chicot is the largest natural lake in Arkansas and the largest oxbow lake in North America. As an oxbow lake, it was once part of the Mississippi River before being cut off over time. The lake provides excellent fishing opportunities and scenic paddling, with beautiful forested shorelines.
The Connelly Bayou ramp is a concrete, single-lane launch located just north of Causeway Road. Parking is available nearby, though specific details on fees or hours of operation are not provided. Paddlers and boaters should exercise caution when launching, as the bayou and lake can experience wind and waves. Overall, Connelly Bayou offers a peaceful access point to explore the expansive waters of Lake Chicot.
