Pool 3
About
Pool 3 is a boat launch in Missouri, about 6 miles from the town of Puxico. It offers a put-in point for getting a boat onto the water in this corner of southeast Missouri. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show highs around 69°F in April and 71°F in October, while July highs typically reach about 89°F. Several other spots lie within a short drive. Bluff Trail, a hike about 5 miles away, makes a good pairing with a day on the water. Paddlers can also head to the Castor River Diversion Channel, about 7 miles off, or to Mingo Creek, roughly 9 miles away.
