Short Mountain Cove Boat Ramp Pass

Arkansas River - Robert S. Kerr Pool

Robert S. Kerr Reservoir is located within the Cookson Hills, on the Arkansas River in Sequoyah, Le Flore, Haskell, and Muskogee counties in eastern Oklahoma. The reservoir is impounded by Robert S. Kerr Lock and Dam at river mile 336.2 (km 541.1) on the Arkansas River, just a few miles below its confluence with the Canadian River. With over 250 miles of shoreline and 43,000 surface acres, R.S. Kerr has long been recognized for its outstanding fishing. Crappie, sand bass, catfish, and black bass in the lake reach record size. Boating and kayaking are popular activities in the area. A boat ramp is provided at the campground for easy access to the water.

All visitors utilizing the boat ramp (unless camping) must possess a valid day use pass. 

If purchasing your pass on-site, no printed copy will be available. Instead, your license plate number will be used to confirm compliance.
