Arkansas Bend Closure

Arkansas Bend Park is temporarily closed for the construction of major park improvements. Improvements include restoring and updating the day use area, improving the boat ramp and expanding the parking areas, constructing new trails and campsites, and adding other amenities and their associated infrastructure. Recent flood waters have delayed the opening. The estimated reopening date for the park is early 2019.

The Point Closure

Due to high water the road to The Point at Bob Wentz Park is closed.

Road to the Point Closed

The road leading to the Point at Bob Wentz Park is closed due to water over the road way. The Point is closed until further notice. The rest of the park remains open.

No Running Water/Restrooms

There is no running water/restrooms on the Point at Bob Wentz Park but there are portable restrooms.

Mountain Biking Trails Status

The mountain bike trails at Milton Reimers Ranch Park are currently closed due to recent rain. They will reopen after they have thoroughly dried.

Closure of Cliff Upriver of Climbers Canyon

We have closed all areas near the cliffs upriver of the Climbers Canyon at Milton Reimers Ranch Park for public safety reasons. This closure includes the hiking trails, but does not include the river shoreline. A massive collapse of the cliff face near Prototype Wall is prompting this closure. We are evaluating the situation and will reopen to hiking when the danger has passed. Climbers should know that many of the climbing routes were destroyed in the collapse.

Park Closed for the Season

Tom Hughes Park is now closed for the off season until April 1, 2019.
