About This Access Site
The Highway 412 Bridge boat ramp provides access to the Black River near the town of Black Rock, Arkansas. As a major river system, the Black River is over 884 miles long and drains an area of nearly 13,000 square miles. It has an average flow of over 10,500 cubic feet per second and an average gradient of 8.2 feet per mile, making it a good option for experienced paddlers and boaters.

The ramp is located directly under the Highway 412 bridge, allowing easy access to launch kayaks, canoes, and small trailered boats. The site includes a paved parking area, but no other amenities are specified. Visitors should be prepared for variable water levels and potential hazards commonly found on a large river system of this scale. As with any unfamiliar access point, it's recommended to check with local authorities about the current conditions and any temporary closures before making the trip.
