Lost Creek Lodge Marina is a public boat ramp providing access to Lake Wappapello, a 45,000-acre recreational lake nestled in the Ozark foothills on the St. Francis River in southeast Missouri. Located near the town of Shook in Wayne County, this facility offers a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the expansive lake. The marina area features electric and water hookups available at the road, with fuel and supplies available at the on-site camp store.
The site provides excellent access for both day trips and extended outings. Lake Wappapello offers diverse paddling and fishing opportunities across its substantial acreage, with fishing allowed in most areas except near boat ramps and the swimming beach. The marina is conveniently located just 15 minutes from Poplar Bluff and near the Mingo National Wildlife Refuge, making it an ideal base for exploring the region. Snow Creek Campground is available within 10 miles for those planning overnight trips. Note that this is a non-reservable facility; arrive early during peak season to ensure ramp availability.
