About This Access Site
Pa He Tsi is a seasonal public boat launch located in Lake of the Ozarks State Park near Osage Beach, providing free access to the Little Niangua Arm. The ramp is open March through October and serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats with no engine restrictions. The site is accessed via Honey Bau Road, making it a convenient put-in for exploring the lake's scenic coves and arms. Campground users with a valid camping permit can launch free year-round at other park ramps.

**Important considerations:** This ramp temporarily closes when lake levels drop below 658.5 feet, which occurs during drought periods or extended dry seasons. Before planning a trip, check the Lake of the Ozarks State Park website or contact the park directly to confirm current water levels and ramp status. As a large reservoir rather than a flowing waterway, Lake of the Ozarks offers protected paddling with varying conditions depending on location and weather. Anglers have extended access hours at boat ramps beyond standard sunrise to sunset operations.
