The Riverways’ two river accesses on Route M, about 10 to 12 miles north of Van Buren. Waymeyer is a put-in for canoes, kayaks, and other non-motorized boats, with a picnic area, about a 3-hour float above Van Buren. Chilton Creek has a boat ramp for motorized boats only. Flooding has shrunk the Waymeyer gravel bar, so the park has limited who can unload where: in 2021 Waymeyer was for private floaters only, and nearby Pin Oak, a former campground, was a loading area for permitted outfitters on weekends and holidays and open to private floaters Monday through Thursday. Call the park for the current rules.
