About This Access Site
The Road 99 access site on the Ouachita River in Ouachita County, Arkansas provides a convenient boat ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized watercraft. The Ouachita River is a major Southeastern waterway, stretching 548 miles with an average flow of over 27,000 cubic feet per second.

The river has a gradual 3 ft/mile average gradient, making it generally suitable for recreational paddling. However, paddlers should be aware of the river's size, depth, and current, especially during high-flow periods. This access point is located near the river's headwaters, where the waterway is narrower and flows may be swifter compared to downstream sections.

No specific amenities or operating hours are listed for this access site. Paddlers and boaters should be prepared to launch and load their craft independently. Nearby services and facilities may be available, but users should research those options in advance. As with any waterway, paddlers should exercise caution, wear life jackets, and be aware of changing conditions before embarking on the Ouachita River from this location.
