About This Access Site
Lake Shore Park in Beulah offers convenient public boat ramp access to Lake Sakakawea, North Dakota's largest reservoir. The facility is a day-use area with basic amenities including boat ramp access and restroom facilities, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to launch on the lake.

Lake Sakakawea is a large, scenic impoundment with multiple access points along its shoreline, providing paddlers with numerous launch options and protected anchorages. The park area features beautiful scenery and calm water conditions typical of reservoir paddling. Water levels and ramp conditions can fluctuate seasonally, particularly following heavy rain or flood events, so it's wise to confirm ramp usability before your visit, especially during spring runoff or drought periods.

For those seeking additional facilities, nearby Lake Sakakawea State Park offers expanded amenities including multiple boat ramps (both multi-lane and single-lane options), courtesy docks, marina services, and boat rentals. The Beulah area provides good access to this popular recreation destination for day trips and extended paddling adventures.
