Highway 71 Index Bridge Boat Ramp
Highway 71 Index Bridge Boat Ramp
This dual-lane boat ramp on the Red River features a wide design allowing two boats to launch side-by-side, with 11 paved parking spaces for tow vehicles plus additional dirt parking.
The ramp was rebuilt in 2017 with an improved downstream angle and sloped banks to reduce silt accumulation and make loading easier, providing convenient access to the Red River after being closed for over two years due to 2015 flood damage.
