Located at the Warren G. See South Spillway Recreation Area just below Clarence Cannon Dam near Cincinnati, Missouri, this concrete boat ramp provides access to the 9-mile Reregulation Pool on the Salt River. The facility is part of Mark Twain State Park and offers a courtesy boat ramp along with fish-cleaning stations in the nearby campground area. This is a convenient upper-pool access point for boaters looking to launch onto the tailwaters impoundment.
The Salt River at this location is a major river system (Stream Order 8) with an average flow of approximately 1,291 cubic feet per second and notable current velocity averaging nearly 7 feet per second. Paddlers should be aware that dam operations can affect water levels and flow conditions in the tailwaters. The Reregulation Pool is popular with anglers targeting crappie, largemouth bass, flathead catfish, and channel catfish, making it an active waterway during fishing seasons.
The broader Mark Twain Lake project encompasses 54,000 acres along the Salt River Valley and offers camping, hiking, and additional recreation facilities in the area. Contact Mark Twain State Park directly for current access conditions, seasonal closures, and any operational updates related to dam releases before planning your trip.
