St. Mary Access

St. Mary Access provides public boat launch facilities on Old River in Saint Mary, Ste. Genevieve County. This access point serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the Old River corridor in southeastern Missouri. The site features a boat ramp and floating dock platform to accommodate various vessel types and water levels.

The access area is conveniently located near significant historical and natural attractions. Paddlers can explore the scenic Old River while accessing the nearby Middle Mississippi River National Wildlife Refuge, one of seven divisions protecting important habitats along the Mississippi River corridor. The proximity to Sainte Geneviève National Historical Park also makes this an ideal launch point for combining paddling with visits to Missouri's first permanent European settlement.
