About Tywappity Community Lake
Tywappity Community Lake is located in Scott County, near the towns of Cape Girardeau, Chaffee, Scott City, Benton, and Oran. From Chaffee, take Route A east to Route RA, which leads to the lake.

Facilities/features: boat ramp, picnic area, pavilion, disabled-accessible floating fishing dock, Tywappity Community Lake (37 acres), and 2.50 mile hiking trail.

The Conservation Department acquired the property for the lake in 1957 from several local landowners.

The area now consists of 147 acres of woodland and 37 acres of surface water. Memphis silt loam soils predominate here and support a wide variety of tree, shrub and plant life, which in turn, helps support a diversity of wildlife.

Management of the area is directed toward protecting the watershed and providing recreational facilities. A large grassy area near the lake has a pavilion, grills, and picnic tables. A boat ramp and privies are also provided. From Tywappity Community Lake web site
