I also had this same question while in the area last weekend. Since I was new to the area, fishing solo in my Outcast Stealth Pro pontoon, I was looking for access points. Someone at Lilly's Landing pointed me in the general area and then I spoke to the folks at the Fall Creek Marina about the ramp. They didn't think there would be any problems with using it the way I was describing. I read this thread prior to visiting and search everywhere for information around the boat ramp (which I know is closed to big boats). There are no signs except your typical "fishing regulations" sign (wish I would have taken a picture). But no signs like: No Trespassing, No parking, Private Property - no signs what so ever - therefore I used the ramp last Sunday and fished that section of the river for 5- 6 hours without problems. I want to respect the property owners and rules of the area, but after it being suggested by two marinas and lack of signage, I felt it was worth the risk to try it out. If anyone knows anything definitively different, please let me know. I plan to return someday.

My Home waters are in Oregon where I was born and raised on the Umpqua river. But I have lived in the mid west since 2000 and have fished Roaring River the most in the last 22 years. My kids are now grown and gone, so now I'm venturing out and fishing other parts of Missouri outside the trout parks. Fished Taneycomo last weekend and was really impressed with the water, fish, and the people. Can't wait to revisit.
