USACE to begin roadwork, park upgrades at Buck Creek Park

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Little Rock District will begin a major roadwork, paving, and park enhancement project Sept. 15 at Buck Creek Park and Lead Hill Park on Bull Shoals Lake.
Initial work will focus on expanding boat ramp parking lots and improving overall access to the lake. While full park closures are not expected during the early phases, visitors should anticipate temporary impacts to some amenities, especially boat launching areas. The Buck Creek Park boat ramp will be closed until further notice, and the ramp within Lead Hill Campground will also be closed. Boaters can still use the nearby ramp on Shoreline Drive.

Campground reservations are currently unaffected, though closures may occur later. Additional upgrades are planned for Tucker Hollow Park and Highway 125 Park at a later date.

The improvements are part of ongoing upgrades aimed at enhancing boat ramps, expanding parking in normal and high-water areas, and improving park entry and exit points. USACE officials said the work is intended to improve safety and the overall visitor experience.
