Native Road

The Native Road boat ramp provides convenient access to Coffey County Reservoir (Wolfe Creek) near New Strawn in eastern Kansas. This access point is ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters looking to explore the reservoir waters. The site includes a boat ramp and parking area, making it straightforward to launch your watercraft.

Located on the south side of the reservoir near the dam in Engineers Cove, this access point benefits from nearby recreation opportunities. The area is adjacent to the Flint Hills National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1966 as an overlay project on the Corps of Engineers flood control reservoir. Paddlers can enjoy scenic views typical of the Flint Hills region and may encounter wildlife viewing opportunities in the surrounding refuge area.

Before visiting, contact local authorities or check current conditions, as reservoir water levels and access availability can vary seasonally. This is a solid choice for a paddling day trip in the region.
