About This Access Site
The County Road 955 boat ramp provides direct access to the mighty Mississippi River near Armorel, Arkansas. As one of the largest rivers in North America, the Mississippi flows over 1,900 miles from its source to the Gulf of Mexico, draining a massive watershed of nearly 1 million square miles.
At this location, the river is relatively broad with an average flow of over 685,000 cubic feet per second and an average gradient of 0.8 feet per mile. Boaters and paddlers should exercise caution when launching, as the river's swift current and large size can present challenges, especially for smaller craft. The ramp appears to be open for public use, though specific details on hours or fees are unavailable.
For those seeking additional recreation in the area, the nearby Chickasaw National Wildlife Refuge offers opportunities to explore the region's extensive bottomland hardwood forests, while the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail commemorates the tragic forced relocation of the Cherokee people. Paddlers and anglers will find plenty to enjoy on this mighty waterway.
