Public Ramp Question

[IL Fisherman]

Howdie Folks

The Mrs and I are looking to buy property in the Kimberling City area.  Mrs. does not drive due to a physical limitation.  I am in need of information on public launches in the area.  Will have to do it by myself unless we have friends or family down.  Please give me some guidance. 

Thanks Toby

Aunts Creek and Mill Creek are both COE public areas. Aunts is off OO Hwy just as you come into Kimberling on 13. Mill is through Kimberling, and across the bridge, then down RB off 13. 

There is also Port of Kimberling, which is a leased area. That is right at the mouth of Schooner Creek in Kimberling. They charge a fee, not sure what it's up to.

Joe Bald also has a boat ramp in Kimberling City...

Longer, more "scenic" drive though.

$5 to get through the gate at Port of Kimberling.

Well spent.

COE boat ramps charge 5 bucks also

Thanks for the info.  Went to Mill Creek (steep) and Joe Bald late this afternoon.  Hopefully will check the others tomorrow.  Appreciate the assistance.

That COE hang tag is well worth the money. Don't have to stop and pay every time you go. I think it's $35 a year. Might have gone up after the new year

If you are over 62 you can buy a lifetime pass for $10 and it is good at any COE ramp.
