McCredie Farm Lake (University of Missouri)

McCredie Farm Lake offers a gravel boat ramp near Kingdom City in Callaway County, making it a convenient access point for paddlers and small boaters. Located on a University-maintained wildlife area, this quiet, secluded 12-15 acre lake provides a peaceful alternative to more heavily trafficked water bodies in the region. The access site includes parking and a functional gravel ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats.

This location is well-suited for recreational paddling, fishing, and wildlife observation. The lake's modest size makes it ideal for beginners or those seeking a relaxing paddle away from busier areas. Be prepared for a gravel launch surface, and note that the site is somewhat removed from main roads, adding to its secluded character. Paddlers should check current conditions before visiting, as water levels and access quality may vary seasonally.
