The Dicks Creek boat ramp provides access to the White River in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. As a major Ozark river, the White River is a popular destination for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters.
The boat ramp is part of the Indian Creek recreation area, which offers nearby campground options. The White River is a substantial waterway, with a total length of over 1,000 miles and an average flow rate of nearly 35,000 cubic feet per second. Boaters can expect a moderate gradient of around 7 feet per mile on this headwater section of the river.
This access point offers a paved boat ramp and ample parking, making it a convenient launch site for those wishing to explore the White River. Paddlers and anglers should review Arkansas fishing and boating regulations prior to their trip, as the river hosts a diversity of wildlife and recreational activities along its course through the Ozark Mountains.
