Flatiron Ridge

Flatiron Ridge is a day-use-only boat ramp providing access to the upper Noxon Rapids Reservoir near Thompson Falls, Montana. The site features a concrete boat ramp, ADA-accessible latrine, and an accessible fishing platform—making it a straightforward launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats heading onto this impoundment. The facility is ideal for paddlers looking to explore the reservoir, though note that shoreline fishing access is limited, so water-based recreation is the primary draw.

For extended trips or camping, Thompson Falls State Park offers a nearby alternative with fee camping, picnic facilities, drinking water, toilets, and its own boat ramp. Those planning to use Flatiron Ridge should be aware it's day-use only, so overnight camping is not available at this site. The reservoir offers a more protected paddling environment compared to river paddling, making it suitable for various skill levels and craft types.
