About This Access Site
Murray Park (East) in Little Rock, Arkansas provides convenient access to the Arkansas River, a major waterway that flows for over 1,200 miles across the state. The boat ramp here features two launch points, allowing easy access for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats.
The Arkansas River is a sizable, fast-moving river, with an average flow rate over 51,000 cubic feet per second and an average gradient of nearly 8 feet per mile. These conditions create an exciting, dynamic paddling experience, though they also require caution and skill, especially for less experienced boaters. Nearby recreation areas like the Terry Lock and Dam and the Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site offer additional opportunities for exploration along the river.
Parking for over 100 vehicles is available at Murray Park, making it a popular access point for those looking to enjoy the Arkansas River. Boaters should be prepared for the river's powerful current and plan their trip accordingly. With its convenient launch ramps and proximity to other attractions, Murray Park provides a great starting point for experiencing this important waterway.
