About This Access Site
The Highway 165 Bridge boat ramp provides access to the Arkansas River, one of the largest rivers in the United States. This major waterway stretches over 1,200 miles and drains an area of nearly 134,000 square miles. With an average flow of over 51,000 cubic feet per second and a gradient of around 8 feet per mile, the Arkansas River can present challenging conditions for paddlers and boaters.
The boat ramp is situated along the Wilbur D. Mills Pool, which connects the Arkansas River to the White River via the man-made Arkansas Post Canal. This stretch of the river is popular for fishing, with opportunities to catch bass, crappie, catfish, and bream. Nearby recreation areas include the Norrell Pool, located about 50 miles to the south, which also offers good fishing access.
Paddlers and boaters should be prepared for the Arkansas River's size and flow when using the Highway 165 Bridge access point. Strong currents, varying water levels, and commercial traffic are all factors to consider. As with any waterway, it's important to check local conditions, wear appropriate safety gear, and exercise caution when launching and navigating the river.
