The Ramsey boat ramp provides easy access to the upper portion of the Little Red River in White County, Arkansas. Located next to the Federal Fish Hatchery, this U.S. Army Corps of Engineers public ramp on the north bank is a convenient entry point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats.
The Little Red River is a sizeable Ozark stream, measuring over 170 miles long with an average flow of nearly 2,900 cubic feet per second. It has a fairly steep gradient, dropping around 12 feet per mile on average as it flows from the Ozark Mountains to its confluence with Greers Ferry Lake. Boaters should be aware of some shallow rapids and shoals, especially around the bends, that may require caution to navigate.
Nearby, Greers Ferry Lake offers excellent recreational opportunities, with numerous parks and campgrounds around its shoreline. For those looking to explore the upper reaches of the Little Red River, the Ramsey access site provides a practical launch point to access this popular trout fishing and paddling destination.
