About This Access Site
Bartlett Access offers a boat ramp and beach access on the Missouri River in Fremont County, near River Road. This location provides a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to access this major river system. The site includes primitive camping facilities near the ramp, making it suitable for paddlers planning multi-day trips on the Missouri River water trail.

The access point serves as one of several landing spots along the Missouri River corridor in Iowa. Paddlers should be prepared for the Missouri's characteristic features—a large, powerful river with variable flow conditions and muddy waters. The presence of a beach area in addition to the ramp gives users multiple entry options depending on water levels and conditions. This is a good staging point for exploring the blue trail water route or planning longer expeditions along the Missouri River system.
