Brush Creek

Brush Creek Boat Ramp provides public access to Harry S. Truman Lake and the Osage River near Osceola in St. Clair County. The facility features a four-lane public boat ramp with ample parking for vehicles and trailers, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats. There are no launch fees or motor restrictions at this access point.

This location is part of the larger Truman Lake recreation area, which offers multiple launch options across the Osage River system. Paddlers should note that the ramp is situated in a campground setting with adjacent facilities including restrooms, water, and other amenities. The Osage River at this location transitions between free-flowing river characteristics and the backed-up waters of Harry S. Truman Reservoir, so water conditions and levels can vary seasonally. Check current conditions before launching, particularly if planning extended paddling trips upstream or downstream.
