Lake Oahe

Located near Pollock in Emmons County, this boat ramp provides access to Lake Oahe, the large reservoir formed by the Missouri River. The site features a paved boat ramp with adequate parking, vault toilets, picnic tables, and a fish cleaning station, making it a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The area is well-maintained with amenities suitable for day-use recreation.

Lake Oahe is a major impoundment offering extensive paddling opportunities across its substantial water body. Before visiting, check current conditions on the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website (www.gf.nd.gov), as water levels and ramp usability can be affected by seasonal fluctuations, high water events, and maintenance needs. Spring flooding or heavy rain events may temporarily restrict access, so confirmation of ramp status is recommended before your trip.
