Chouteau Claim Access

Chouteau Claim Access is a 15-acre river access point located off St. Mary's Road at the confluence of the Meramec and Bourbeuse rivers in Franklin County. Access to the site requires driving down St.

Mary's Road, which has historically been in poor condition with potholes and seasonal flooding, though Franklin County and the Missouri Department of Conservation partnered to improve the road surface.

This access point serves paddlers and anglers looking to reach both the Meramec and Bourbeuse rivers.
