About This Access Site
Tywappity Community Lake is a 37-acre recreational lake in Scott County, Missouri, offering a public boat launch for paddlers and boaters. The paved parking area accommodates up to 42 vehicles and provides convenient access to the water. A pavilion, grills, picnic tables, and restroom facilities are available at the site, making it suitable for day-use outings.

**Boating Rules:** Only electric motors are permitted on the lake. Boats may be used for recreation but cannot be left unattended overnight. The lake is closed to hunting. The calm, enclosed nature of this community lake makes it well-suited for kayaking and canoeing, particularly for paddlers seeking a sheltered, smaller water body.

The site's open grassy area and woodland edges also make it attractive for wildlife viewing and birding, especially during spring and fall migrations. Tywappity Community Lake is located near Chaffee, Missouri, and serves as a good local paddling destination for the surrounding region.
