Weldon Spring Conservation Area River Access

DIRECTIONS:
From Hwy. 40: From Hwy 40, exit onto Hwy. 94 and travel south for 5.25 miles. The entrance will be on the left and you will proceed down the hill and cross the Katy Trail and trailhead. Continue on gravel road, following signs. The boat ramp is approx. .62 miles after you cross the Katy Trail.

West Hwy. 94: The little town of Dutzow is a hub for a number of highways in the area that lead to the Hwy. 94 and the Weldon Spring Conservation Area. These highways include Hwy. TT north of Dutzow, Hwy. 47 (a North/South connection from I-70 to I-44 and beyond), Highway 100 (which follows the Missouri River on the south side) in Washington is only a few miles from Dutzow and accessible via the bridge in Washington. Regardless of the route you came, once you hit Dutzow, look for signage for Hwy. 94. From that point it is about 18.5 miles and the entrance to the conservation area will be on your right. Follow signs to the boat ramp.
