Dr. Curtis Merrell / Bayou Bartholomew Boat Ramp

This concrete boat ramp and parking facility sits on approximately 25 acres of land donated by Walmart, located off Interstate 530 (exit 43) on the south side of Pine Bluff, making it easily accessible for launching boats and canoes/kayaks onto Bayou Bartholomew.

The access point offers about 2 miles of paddling upstream or downstream, with two nearby nature trails providing additional recreation opportunities for hikers and wildlife viewers.
