**Location & Access:** Brooky Bottom Park provides public boat ramp access to Ames Creek and the Missouri River near Wynot in Cedar County. To reach the site, take Nebraska Highway 12 east 18.1 miles from its intersection with US 81, then turn north onto Road 573 (marked with a "Brooky Bottom Recreation Area" sign). Follow this gravel road 4.6 miles to the dead-end parking area.
**Facilities & Recreation:** The park features a two-lane concrete boat ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. This access point serves paddlers exploring the Missouri River water trail and is recognized as a stopping point for regional river expeditions. The site provides direct access to the lower Missouri River, a large, flowing waterway with moderate current typical of this region.
**Nearby Amenities:** Two primitive camping areas are located within 10 miles—Goat Island Primitive Camping and Bow Creek Primitive Camping—making this a convenient base for multi-day paddling trips. Plan accordingly for fuel and supplies, as services are limited in the rural Wynot area.
