The Highway 82 Bridge boat ramp on the Ouachita River in Crossett, Arkansas provides access to this major, navigable waterway. The Ouachita River is a large, headwater stream with a total length of 548 miles, an average flow of over 27,000 cubic feet per second, and a moderate gradient of 3 feet per mile.
This concrete boat ramp is well-suited for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats onto the Ouachita River. The river at this location is approximately 200-300 feet wide, with an average depth and flow that can accommodate a variety of watercraft. Nearby, the Ouachita-Black River - Felsenthal Pool project offers additional access points and recreational opportunities along the Ouachita River, including boating, fishing, camping, and wildlife viewing in the Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge.
Paddlers and boaters should be aware of the Ouachita River's substantial size, flow, and potential hazards, and plan accordingly. Consult local resources for the latest information on water levels, current conditions, and safety considerations before heading out.
