Red Star Access

Red Star Access is an 8. 3-acre Missouri Department of Conservation facility featuring a boat ramp and parking lot located on the Mississippi River in north Cape Girardeau.

The boat ramp closes when the river reaches 33 feet on the Cape Girardeau gauge and is not usable when water levels drop to 8 feet or below, making it most reliable during moderate water conditions.

The site connects to the riverfront trail system and offers convenient access for both boaters and anglers, though sedimentation in this area can limit navigation during low water periods.
