Highway 39 Bridge (South)

The Highway 39 Bridge (South) boat ramp provides access to the White River Arm of Table Rock Lake near Shell Knob, Missouri. This is a concrete launch facility with paved parking located at the south end of Highway 39 Bridge. The ramp is free to use and offers a straightforward entry point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore this section of the lake.

The White River is a major waterway (Stream Order 9) with significant flow averaging over 34,000 cubic feet per second and an average velocity of 5.76 feet/second. The water here represents the impounded section of the White River at Table Rock Lake, which is considerably different from the river's natural character upstream. This access point is ideal for recreational paddling and boating on the lake itself rather than river paddling.
