Duck Creek Conservation Area Access provides entry to a 6,318-acre MDC-owned area spanning Stoddard, Bollinger, and Wayne Counties, featuring 1,800 acres of water in Pool 1 plus additional pools and wetland units.

The main access is located off Highway 51 north of Puxico, with boat ramps, fishing jetties, primitive camping, and accessible vault toilets available at the headquarters and campground.

The area is closed to public use October 15 through the end of waterfowl seasons to protect migratory birds, though hunting, fishing, and boating are permitted 24 hours during open periods.
