Bagnell Dam Access features a two-lane concrete boat ramp located just below Bagnell Dam on the Osage River, making it one of the most heavily used access points on the river, particularly during paddlefish snagging season and periods of strong dam generation.

The facility operates daily from 4 a. m. to 10 p. m. and includes parking areas and picnic tables; note the brass low-water markers at the ramp base to gauge safe launching conditions.

This access is ideal for both anglers and paddlers seeking entry to the tailwater section of the Osage River.
