Otter Slough Conservation Area Access in Stoddard County provides boat ramp access to Otter Lake and Cypress Lake for fishing and paddling, with a concrete boat ramp at the area headquarters and additional non-concrete ramps available.

The 4,859-acre area offers camping (14-day limit), a self-guided nature trail, and wildlife viewing opportunities, though access by boat is best when water levels are adequate.

All visitors must register at area headquarters before use, and note that fishing is closed from October 15 through the season, with motors over 10 horsepower restricted to slow, no-wake speeds.
