About This Access Site
**Location & Basic Info**
Nodaway Island Access near Amazonia in Andrew County provides boat ramp access to the Missouri River, one of North America's major waterways. The site offers primitive camping facilities near the ramp, making it suitable for paddlers planning multi-day trips. Canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, and other boats are permitted on this conservation area water.
**What to Expect**
The Missouri River at this location is a substantial waterway with an average flow of over 121,000 cubic feet per second and average current velocity of 7.4 feet/second. Paddlers should be prepared for a major river with significant flow. The ramp approach has some unique characteristics: it points downstream, is partially hidden behind dike structures, and features both rocky bank landing and muddy bank alternatives. Check current water conditions before launching, as flow rates on this large river can vary considerably.
**Access Notes**
Fishing is allowed on Missouri Department of Conservation areas, subject to current regulations outlined in the Wildlife Code Chapter 11. Alternate parking was available as of 2022, so check ahead if the primary lot is full. This access point serves as a gateway to the lower Missouri River corridor for paddlers seeking substantial river paddling experience.
