Chilton Memorial Boat Ramp
About
Chilton Memorial Boat Ramp is a boat launch in southern Missouri, managed by the Missouri Department of Conservation and sitting about a third of a mile from the town of Eminence. Its location right at the edge of town makes it an easy put-in to reach, with the town close at hand for supplies before or after a day on the water. For comfortable conditions, plan around late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Eminence put May highs around 80°F and October highs near 73°F, while July and August average highs of about 91°F. The surrounding area offers plenty to pair with a launch. Porphyry Mountain is a hike just 0.3 miles away, and Granny Smith Hollow lies under a mile off. Within about five miles, Mahans Creek offers canoeing and the Current River offers river fishing.
