Bennett Spring Access
About
Bennett Spring Access is a boat launch in Missouri managed by the Missouri Department of Conservation. It sits about a mile from the small community of Bennett Springs, making it a straightforward put-in for anglers and paddlers working the waters around the town. Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons for a trip. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Lebanon put May highs around 76°F and October highs near 69°F with lows in the mid-40s, while July highs average about 88°F. The access is a good base for exploring the area. Bennett Spring Branch, about a mile and a half away, offers river fishing, and the Whistle Trail is close by for a walk on shore. Paddlers looking for more water can head to Mountain Creek or the Niangua River, each a little over 4 miles away.
