About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** Shawnee Bend Access is located on the Osage Arm of Lake of the Ozarks near the 11-mile marker in Camden County. To reach the ramp from Sunrise Beach, take Highway 5 south, then Route F for about 1 mile, followed by Route TT northeast for approximately 2.3 miles.

**What to Expect:** This public boat ramp provides straightforward access to the Osage Arm, making it a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters exploring this section of the lake. The flat-water conditions on the Osage Arm are well-suited for paddlers of varying skill levels. The access area is managed to support both day-use visitors and those seeking nearby marina services for slip rentals and additional amenities.

**Planning Your Visit:** Check current conditions and any operational updates before heading out, as lake levels and facility management can change seasonally. The relatively protected waters of the Osage Arm make this a good choice for calmer paddling days or exploring the shoreline and coves in the area.
