Wappapello Lake can be a boater's paradise with a string of secluded coves, islands and wooded shorelines. Hunting, fishing and kayaking are popular activities year-round. Hiking and biking on one of the Lake's 9 trail systems provides opportunities for all ages and abilities. The Shell Lake Archery Trail is a unique destination for achery enthusiasts.

Facilities

The accessible picnic shelter fits 80 guests. The area includes a scenic overlook, volleyball court and flush toilets. From the bluff, an extended platform overlooks the lake -- a popular location for small wedding ceremonies (permit required). The Lake View trail can be accessed here with options to go across the dam or visit Peoples Creek. The restroom and picnic areas were replaced in 2021

Natural Features

Wappapello Lake is fed by the St. Francis River and boasts 8,400 surface-acres on a whopping 45,000-acre expanse of public land, in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains.
