Hunnewell Access

Hunnewell Access provides a concrete boat ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats onto the North Fork Salt River near Shelbina in Shelby County. This access point is located approximately five miles upstream from where the North Fork flows into Mark Twain Lake, making it an ideal put-in for paddlers looking to explore the river corridor or fish the productive waters leading to the reservoir.

The North Fork Salt River is known for seasonal runs of walleye, white bass, and crappie, particularly upstream from Mark Twain Reservoir, making this a popular destination for both anglers and recreational paddlers. The site offers both boating access via the ramp and bank fishing opportunities. Paddlers should note that this is a developed access point with a concrete ramp, making it suitable for various watercraft.
