Cedar Shores Land Use Area

Located in Oacoma along Pontoon Creek and the Missouri River, Cedar Shores offers public boat ramp access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. This access point provides a convenient launch onto the Missouri River, one of North America's largest waterways. The area serves as part of the broader network of Missouri River access points in South Dakota.

Before launching, paddlers should be aware that water levels can fluctuate significantly on the Missouri River, which may affect ramp usability during low-water periods. Check current conditions before your trip. The site may have limited facilities, so plan accordingly for supplies and services. Nearby private marinas in the area may offer additional amenities such as RV hookups or campsites if you're planning an extended visit.
