The Jefferson Ridge (West) boat ramp provides access to the scenic Dierks Lake in southwestern Arkansas. This 1,360-acre reservoir offers excellent opportunities for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. The ramp is located within the Jefferson Ridge Campground, which offers additional recreation amenities like picnic areas, beaches, and hiking trails.
For paddlers, Dierks Lake provides a peaceful, protected setting to explore by kayak or canoe. The lake is fed by Cave Creek and surrounded by rugged ridges, creating a picturesque backdrop. Anglers will find good populations of bass and crappie in the lake. Motorized boaters can also launch at the ramp to enjoy water sports or fishing.
The campground and boat ramp are accessed via a 5-mile drive north from Dierks, Arkansas on Green Chapel Road. Facilities at the site include picnic tables, restrooms, and two boat ramps, though specific operating hours or fees are not listed. Visitors should contact the campground directly at 870-286-3214 for the most current information.
