About This Access Site
The Lick Creek Recreation Area provides a boat ramp and access to Blue Mountain Lake in Havana, Arkansas. This ramp is located on the southern side of the lake, about 4 miles south of Waveland. The ramp is a one-lane, concrete design with limited paved parking available.

Blue Mountain Lake is a 160-acre reservoir surrounded by scenic hills and forests. It offers opportunities for swimming, fishing, water skiing, and other lake recreation. The Lick Creek access point is a good option for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats looking to explore this picturesque mountain lake. While there are no additional developed facilities on-site, the nearby Cove Lake Recreation Area provides campgrounds, picnic areas, and other amenities.

Boaters and paddlers should note that fees may apply at the Lick Creek Recreation Area. The Town of Dover, which operates this site, charges a fee for use of the picnic pavilion, though it's unclear if there are any fees specifically for the boat ramp. Visitors are encouraged to contact the facility ahead of time for the most up-to-date information on hours and pricing.
