Cherokee State Park

Cherokee State Park's Disney area provides a convenient boat ramp for accessing the Neosho River and Grand Lake near the Pensacola Dam. The ramp features a light-duty launch with parking available, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and smaller motorized boats. Note that there is no courtesy dock or restroom facility at the ramp itself, so plan accordingly for longer outings.

The access point is located in the lower Neosho River area below Pensacola Dam, which influences water conditions and flow patterns. This section offers good opportunities for both river paddling and lake-based boating. Nearby Grand Cherokee Campground provides additional amenities including a comfort station with showers and group shelters if you're planning an extended trip. The park area includes RV sites and tent camping, making it a viable base for multi-day paddling or fishing adventures.
