Salida boat ramp

Salida East boat ramp provides convenient access to the Arkansas River just east of downtown Salida on US Highway 50, featuring a developed boat ramp/slide along with nearby camping, restrooms, and picnic facilities.

The site is part of the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area and serves as a popular put-in for boaters accessing the 18-mile Salida to Vallie Bridge section with Class II-III rapids. A $10 daily vehicle pass is required for park access.
