Sundowner Marina is a full-service boat ramp and day-use access point on Lake Wappapello, a 45,000-acre reservoir nestled in the Ozark foothills along the St. Francis River in Wayne County. This is a developed facility with amenities beyond basic ramp access, including a fuel dock, convenience store, and onsite marina services. Day-use access requires an activity pass (reservable through Recreation.gov), so plan accordingly before your visit.
The marina caters to both paddlers and motorized boaters with boat rentals, fishing supplies, and a well-stocked showroom for parts and accessories. The large, scenic lake offers excellent opportunities for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. The surrounding area includes nearby camping options at Snow Creek Campground (10 miles away) and proximity to Mingo National Wildlife Refuge, making this a good base for extended outdoor recreation. Check ahead for current hours and services, as operating schedules may vary seasonally.
