Lake Chicot State Park offers a convenient boat ramp on the northeast side of the large, 20-mile long Lake Chicot. This two-lane concrete ramp provides easy access to the lake's calm, scenic waters, which are popular with anglers targeting crappie, bass, and bream. The ramp is located within the state park, which offers a range of amenities including campsites, cabins, a marina, and boat rentals.
Lake Chicot is the largest natural lake in Arkansas and the largest oxbow lake in North America, formed by the meandering Mississippi River. Its protected, slow-moving waters make it well-suited for kayaking, canoeing, and small motorized boats. Paddlers can explore the lake's coves and inlets, taking in the area's abundant waterfowl and wildlife. Boaters have ample room to cruise the lake, with several access points around its perimeter. Whether you're fishing, paddling, or just enjoying a day on the water, the Lake Chicot State Park boat ramp is a convenient launching point to access this scenic natural wonder.
