About This Access Site
The Craig boat ramp offers convenient day-use access to the Missouri River in Lewis and Clark County, near Craig, Montana. This site features a boat ramp, large parking lot, and picnic facilities, making it a straightforward launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. Primitive camping is available near the ramp for those planning multi-day trips.
Paddlers should note that the ramp approach points downstream, which can make it difficult to spot from the river until you're very close. The Missouri River in this section is a substantial, flowing waterway, so be prepared for current conditions and plan accordingly. Two reservable campgrounds—Holter Lake Campground and Log Gulch Campground—are located within 10 miles and offer more developed camping options if you prefer amenities beyond primitive sites.
