North Sylamore Creek (East)

The North Sylamore Creek boat ramp provides access to the White River, a major headwater stream in northern Arkansas. The ramp is located within the Gunner Pool Recreation Area, offering a scenic, shaded campground along the creek. While the recreation area does not have electrical or water hookups, it provides a convenient launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats.

The White River is a substantial waterway, extending over 1,000 miles with an average flow of nearly 35,000 cubic feet per second. Boaters can expect a moderate current, with an average gradient of 7.4 feet per mile. The river is rated as a Stream Order 10, indicating it is a major river system comparable to the Mississippi or Missouri.

The gravel Forest Service Road 1102 leads directly to the ramp, but it is not recommended for large trailers or RVs.
