RBD 531.5 Sunnyside Landing

Sunnyside is a public boat ramp built from broken concrete and tattered revetment which drops into the river at the edge of a large eddy. Paddlers needing access be ready for fast waters and a strong rip-eddy with large boils and small whirlpools. Land access is from US 82, turn north on the first paved road in Arkansas, and then bear right at the fork onto the gravel road over the levee. Continue on gravel then turn left at river’s edge for parking and access. Closest Landing to Lake Village Arkansas, which sits on the shores of Lake Chicot seven miles to the west.
