About This Access Site
The Prairie Creek boat ramp provides access to the scenic White River arm of Beaver Lake in northwest Arkansas. This is a popular put-in spot for kayakers, canoeists, and small powerboats exploring the lake's secluded coves and shoreline.

The concrete ramp leads directly into the water, making it easy to launch small craft. Nearby, there are two reservable campgrounds within 10 miles - Rocky Branch and War Eagle - offering convenient overnight options for multi-day trips. The lake is known for its towering limestone bluffs, clear waters, and diverse wildlife, making it a nature lover's paradise.

For those interested in the area's history, the Pea Ridge National Military Park is just a short drive away. This important Civil War battlefield saw a decisive battle in 1862 that helped determine the fate of Missouri. Boaters and paddlers can extend their trip by exploring the tributaries and coves of Beaver Lake, taking in the scenic beauty of the Ozark Mountains region.
