KEMP LAKE
Empowering those who need it most
Kemp Lake provides disabled people the ability to experience nature and just have some fun. The 215-acre game preserve is about an hour west of St. Louis off Hwy 44 and features a 19-acre managed lake teaming with fish.
​
We believe there is truly nothing more healing than the beauty of God's nature. And we strive to share that beauty with people who are often excluded from these opportunities.​​
Cast For Kids is one of our largest and longest annual events at Kemp Lake.
Every year, we get to bring kids of all ages to fish alongside a seasoned fisherman.
Volunteers from all over bring their boats to sail our lake with each child's family, giving a special one-on-one experience that each family will treasure forever. ​

What We Offer
Hunt
Participants hunt deer, turkey, quail, rabbit, and other upland birds with the aid of an expert hunter. As a managed game preserve, Kemp Lake has had many successful hunts.
Fish
Our "breakaway docks" offer a unique, accessible and easy to way to fish or explore the lake on our water safaris - a favorite with kids and adults alike. Simple in design & function the docks are carpeted, railed, can be combined and can utilize an optional shade canopy. A fishing guide handles the details and helps to make fishing about as easy as can be!
Explore
Walk or ride through the over 6 miles in trails and roads that wind through and around the preserve. Look for flowers. mushrooms, birds, animals or their tracks-- or just enjoy the cool breeze sweeping through the trees.
Rest
Relax with your group and experience the lake from our brand new pavilion! Maybe a shore lunch is in order! Maybe just watch the waves, other participants, wildlife or whatever else might catch your eye. There's nothing more restoring than nature.
