Pool 3
About
Pool 3 is a boat launch in southeast Missouri, about 5 miles from the town of Puxico. It gives boaters and paddlers a put-in close to town, and the official description offers nothing beyond its role as a boat launch in Missouri. Spring and fall bring the mildest weather for a trip here. Typical averages from the nearby Wappapello Dam weather station show May highs around 76°F and October highs near 69°F, while July highs average about 88°F. The Bluff Trail is the closest neighbor at about 4 miles away, a good pairing for anyone wanting time on foot. Two more paddling options sit roughly 8 miles out: Mingo Creek and the Castor River Diversion Channel, both suited to canoeing.
