Lost Creek Landing is a boat ramp providing access to Lake Wappapello, a 45,000-acre reservoir nestled in the Ozark foothills along the St. Francis River in southeastern Missouri. Located in Shook, Wayne County, this facility serves as a launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the expansive lake system. The ramp is part of the Lost Creek Lodge Marina recreation area.
Lake Wappapello offers ample paddling opportunities across its large surface area, making it suitable for various skill levels and trip lengths. The surrounding landscape is characterized by Ozark terrain with forested shorelines. Anglers should note that fishing is prohibited at or near boat ramps themselves, though the lake supports fishing in other areas year-round. A nearby campground option is available at Snow Creek Campground (approximately 10 miles away) for those planning overnight trips. The area's proximity to Mingo National Wildlife Refuge adds additional recreation opportunities for visitors to the region.
