Boating - Sam A. Baker State Park
Launch your canoe or small boat into the St. Francis River at the concrete boat launch located at Campground 1. It is open at all times except during heavy flooding. There are no launch fees or motor restrictions; however, the size of the river limits usage to smaller boats. Due to the river current shifting in recent years, the launch area is usually too shallow for anything but canoes and small boats.
