The David D. Terry Park (East) boat ramp provides direct access to the Arkansas River, one of the major waterways of the central United States. With a total length of over 1,200 miles and an average flow of over 51,000 cubic feet per second, the Arkansas River is a large and powerful river system. The river has an average gradient of 7.9 feet per mile, so boaters should exercise caution, especially in high water conditions.
The boat ramp at David D. Terry Park offers a convenient access point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats to explore this section of the Arkansas River. The surrounding area includes recreational amenities like the nearby Willow Beach Campground, as well as natural wildlife viewing opportunities. Paddlers can access a 2.5-mile water trail along this stretch of the river. While specific details on hours or fees are not available, the boat ramp appears to be a popular and well-used access site for recreational use of the Arkansas River in this region.
