36° 21' 43.698" N, 92° 34' 57.184" W

(Damsite Catch and Release Area)

Access is on the Baxter County (east) side right below the dam. Take the State Park and Gaston's turn off of Hwy 178 just east of the dam and then the right fork to the access area. Launching or recovering a boat can be a little tricky at dead low or high flows. Good wade access at low water. Boating access in the area is limited at low flows.

Area closed to fishing November 1 - January 31. Check AGFC trout fishing booklet for regulations.

The access has a good riffle just off the boat launch.
