Lamar Access

**Location & Facilities**
Lamar Access is a public boat ramp located in Lamar, Barton County, Missouri, providing put-in and take-out access to the North Fork of the Spring River. The site includes a constructed boat ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats. An informational kiosk and site registration box are available on-site.

**What to Know Before You Go**
The ramp approach points downstream and can be difficult to spot from the water until you're very close, so watch carefully for the access point if paddling upstream. This is a convenient access point for exploring the North Fork Spring River. Paddlers should check current water conditions before heading out, as the river's flow and level can affect navigability. Plan your trip accordingly and allow adequate time for shuttle arrangements if needed.
