The Narrows

The Narrows Boat Ramp provides access to Jackfork Creek and the northern end of Sardis Lake in southeastern Oklahoma's Ouachita Mountains. This ramp is a popular launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats exploring the scenic creek and lake.

Jackfork Creek is a medium-sized, slow-moving stream that flows into the northern end of Sardis Lake. The lake itself covers over 14,000 acres and offers ample opportunities for boating, fishing, and other water sports. The Narrows ramp is well-suited for launching smaller, non-motorized watercraft like kayaks and canoes, with a gentle slope and ample parking.

Boaters should be aware that a boat ramp pass is required to use the Sardis Cove boat ramps, which can be purchased on-site using a QR code in the parking lot. This pass helps support the maintenance and upkeep of the launch facilities. Overall, the Narrows provides convenient access to the serene natural landscapes of Jackfork Creek and Sardis Lake for paddlers and small boaters.
