About This Access Site
Crooked Creek Boat Ramp provides access to Fort Peck Lake near Winnett, MT, and serves as the western entrance to this expansive reservoir. The ramp is located approximately 50 miles from Winnett via Highway 200 on a gravel road. This access point is popular for boaters exploring the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge area and the scenic UL Bend National Wildlife Refuge complex.

**Important considerations:** Water levels at Crooked Creek can fluctuate significantly, and the ramp may become unusable during low-water periods, particularly for jet boats and prop boats. Before making the drive from Winnett, contact local outfitters like Don's in Lewistown to confirm current launch conditions and usability. Paddlers should also be aware that the gravel road access requires appropriate vehicle clearance, especially during wet conditions.
