Kayak take out below cowskin

Looking at putting in at 43 and floating down. Any takeout locations a few miles below 43 that I could park a car?

You'd be in OK. in about 2 miles,  find a map of Delaware County and locate road East 240 going west from Tiff City and about a mile west of the state line turn south on RD South 697 and the end of the road used to be at/near the mouth of Buffalo Creek, if you floated to Buffalo and turned up it you'd be very near the road end. You need to drive there and check it out because it was probably 25-30 years ago that I was in there.  In a canoe it'd be easier I think to simply paddle back up from the state line and take out at the put in. I've never seen a kayak go upstream so I don't know if they can.

This map and description might help you- https://missouricanoe.org/big-sugar-creek/

This link if it works will be an aerial view of the Elk-Buffalo junction about a mile west of the state line-  https://www.bing.com/maps?q=36.63433%2c+-94.627891&FORM=HDRSC4

Didn't work, so after it loads, in the top right of the map hover "Roads" and drop down will let you change it to aerial.

Perfect! I appreciate it and will check it out.

Thank you.

I wouldn't even attempt the take out at Buffalo creek now. I was down there scouting it out earlier last month and the floods have completely washed out any road into there. Trees down everywhere and dang near impossible to just walk back in there. The only place that I know of for sure to take out is a ramp further down stream, but I don't know if it is private or what. I just know there is one about when you start seeing boat docks and by then you are definitely in OK. The only doable thing is to paddle down and then come back up, but that will be dang near impossible again with the flows like they are. Unless you have a motor of course.
