The Murray Creek boat ramp provides access to the Black River, a major waterway in northeastern Arkansas. The Black River is a large, free-flowing river with an average flow of over 10,500 cubic feet per second and an average gradient of 8.2 feet per mile. This section of the river near the Murray Creek access is a headwater area, about 1,995 miles upstream from the river's mouth.
The boat ramp is located in the Biggers community of Randolph County, Arkansas, with coordinates of 36.29043927, -90.81638827. It offers a convenient put-in point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats looking to explore the Black River. The ramp is situated near the Yarran Creek inflow/outflow, providing access to that tributary as well. Paddlers and boaters should be prepared for the river's size, flow, and potential obstacles, and check conditions before launching.
