Otter Slough Conservation Area Access provides boat ramp access to Otter Lake and the surrounding cypress/tupelo swamp ecosystem in Stoddard County.

The area features a concrete boat ramp at the headquarters location, with motors over 10 horsepower required to operate at slow, no-wake speed; access is best by boat when water levels are adequate.

Fishing and paddling are permitted year-round in designated areas, though portions close seasonally and registration at area headquarters is required for hunters.
