About This Access Site
Murray Park (West) on the Arkansas River in Little Rock, Arkansas offers convenient boat access for kayakers, canoeists, and small motor boats. The site features two concrete boat ramps with parking for over 100 vehicles and trailers.
The Arkansas River is a major waterway, running over 1,200 miles from its headwaters in Colorado to the Mississippi River. At this location, the river has an average depth of 49.6 meters and a flow rate of around 51,000 cubic feet per second, making for exciting but potentially challenging conditions for paddlers. The river's average gradient of 7.9 feet per mile can create strong currents, so caution is advised, especially for less experienced boaters.
In addition to the boat ramp, the Murray Park area provides other recreation opportunities, including the nearby Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site and the Arkansas River - Terry Lock and Dam, which offers additional water access points. Boaters and paddlers can explore this scenic stretch of the Arkansas River and enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape.
