The Bluffs Drive

The Bluffs Drive boat ramp provides easy access to the North Fork White River and Norfork Lake in Baxter County, Arkansas. This concrete ramp offers a stepped entry into the water, making it a convenient launching point for kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats.

The North Fork White River flows into Norfork Lake, a large reservoir popular with recreational boaters. The river is typically calm and slow-moving, making it well-suited for leisurely paddles and float fishing. Boaters can explore the lake's many coves and inlets, or venture upstream to enjoy the natural scenery of the river.

The boat ramp is located within Panther Bay Park, a campground managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. While the park itself is reservable, the boat ramp is open to the public and available for day-use. Paddlers and boaters should be aware of any potential fees or regulations before launching, and exercise caution when navigating the area's waterways.
