About This Access Site
The Marked Tree boat ramp provides access to the St. Francis River in Poinsett County, Arkansas. This section of the river is relatively wide and slow-moving, making it well-suited for kayaking, canoeing, and small motorized boats.

The ramp is located directly off the main road, offering easy put-in and take-out access. Ample parking is available nearby. While the specific hours and fees (if any) are not listed, the ramp appears to be open year-round for public use.

The St. Francis River in this area was impacted by the major New Madrid earthquakes of 1811-1812, which caused the ground to drop 6-8 feet, creating a flooded "Sunken Lands" area. This unique landscape provides a scenic and interesting paddling experience, though boaters should be aware of any potential hazards. Overall, the Marked Tree boat ramp is a convenient access point for exploring the tranquil waters of the St. Francis River.
