The Missouri Department of Conservation advises using caution when using boat access points at the Lake of the Ozarks due to low water levels at the lake.

The department says boat ramps have sustained notable damage over the past few months due to unseasonably low water levels.

Boat ramps affected by low water levels at the Lake of the Ozarks include:

Shawnee Bend Access
Coffman Bend Access
Wigwam Access
Brown Bend Access
Larry Gale Access

MDC agents are currently working to fill holes at affected accesses. Meanwhile, the public is urged to use caution and report damaged ramps to the department by calling 573-815-7900.
