Located 5 miles north and 1.5 miles east of the Highway 81/Highway 12 junction near Menominee, Chalkrock Wildlife Management Area offers public boat access to Antelope Creek via a maintained boat ramp. This 130-acre wildlife area features a 44-acre lake and is open year-round for boating, fishing, and hunting. The site provides basic facilities including parking, a boat ramp, picnic shelters, handicap-accessible restrooms, and fishing berms, making it a convenient launch point for paddlers and small motorboat operators.
The area operates as a primitive facility with no electrical hookups or dump stations available. Camping is permitted on-site, and two nearby primitive camping options—Green Island Primitive Camping and Pierson Ranch Camp—are located within 10 miles for those planning extended visits. Users should be aware that portions of the wildlife management area may have seasonal restrictions to protect wildlife habitat, so check local regulations before your visit.
Chalkrock WMA is an excellent base for exploring Antelope Creek and provides access to the broader Missouri River corridor in the region, including the scenic Missouri National Recreational River and Lewis and Clark Lake nearby.
