Van Buren Riverfront Park

Van Buren Riverfront Park offers convenient access to the Current River in Carter County, Missouri, with both a concrete boat ramp on the east bank and a gravel bar alternative. The concrete ramp accommodates motorized and non-motorized boats, while paddlers, kayakers, and canoeists may also launch from the adjacent gravel bar, which provides a popular access point for the clear waters of the Current River.

This location serves as a good put-in or take-out for boating and paddling trips on the Current River. The park facilities make it suitable for various watercraft and skill levels, whether you're launching a motorized vessel or planning a canoe or kayak excursion. The gravel bar option is particularly useful for kayakers and canoeists who prefer a gentler launch area, and the site's proximity to Van Buren makes it an accessible starting point for exploring this popular Missouri waterway.
