East Arroda Dam

East Arroda Dam in Oliver County, North Dakota provides a boat ramp for access to a small impoundment with a surface area of 23.5 acres. The reservoir has an average depth of 38.2 feet and a maximum depth of 1.5 miles of shoreline, making it suitable for small watercraft including kayaks and canoes. This access point is located near Fort Clark and serves paddlers looking to explore a quieter, inland water body rather than the larger Missouri River system.

As with many North Dakota boat ramps, users should be aware that spring and summer maintenance and construction work may cause temporary closures. Check local updates on fishing and recreation news before visiting to confirm the ramp is open and accessible. The nearby Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site offers additional historical and cultural context for the region, making this a good stop for paddlers interested in exploring both the water and the area's heritage.
