Schell-Osage Conservation Area Access provides boat ramps and fishing access to two large lakes (Atkinson Lake at 461 acres and Schell Lake at 355 acres) plus 11 smaller fishing ponds, with multiple gravel parking lots and two primitive campgrounds available.

The area features two ADA-accessible boat ramps and numerous parking areas, though note that major renovation work was underway as of 2018-2019 which may have temporarily affected access and hunting opportunities. Located in St.

Clair County near Schell City, Missouri, the area also offers waterfowl hunting, wildlife viewing, and a 2. 5-mile hiking trail.
