Highway Ra Dade County boat launch
Highway Ra Dade County
One popular boat ramp in Dade County is the Stockton State Park Boat Ramp, which is located on Stockton Lake. According to the Missouri Department of Conservation, this boat ramp is concrete and 30 feet wide, providing ample space for boats to launch and retrieve. Stockton Lake is a 24,900-acre reservoir that is popular for fishing, boating, and swimming. All types of motorized and non-motorized boats are permitted on the lake, including kayaks, canoes, sailboats, and powerboats.
Another boat ramp in Dade County is the Cedar Ridge Boat Ramp, located on the Sac River. This boat ramp is also concrete and 30 feet wide, providing easy access for boaters. The Sac River is a small, slow-moving river that is popular for canoeing and kayaking. However, motorized boats are also permitted on the river.
It is important to note that regulations and restrictions may vary depending on the specific body of water and the governing agency. Boaters should always check with local authorities and abide by all posted rules and regulations.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

About Highway Ra Dade County
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
