Launching a boat in Missouri

Common questions about Missouri boat launches

How many public boat launches are there in Missouri?
Angling Hubs maps 602 boat launches in Missouri across 259 named waters. 567 are public access and 35 are semi-private, meaning access may be limited to residents, members or permit holders.
Which waters in Missouri have the most boat launches?
By mapped launch count: White River - Table Rock Lake (35), Missouri River (29), Mississippi River (21), Lake of the Ozarks (20) and Lake Wappapello (17). Counts are the number of separate ramps on each water, not the number of lanes.
Is there a fee to use boat launches in Missouri?
Launch fees are set by whoever manages the ramp, and Angling Hubs does not hold fee data for Missouri yet, so check the managing agency or marina before you tow. Ramps marked semi-private may also require a permit or membership.

Launch data from the USGS National Boat Ramps dataset, released into the public domain (CC0). Confirm ramp conditions, fees, and seasonal access locally before you launch.
