About This Access Site
The Lakeside Boat Launch is a one-lane concrete ramp located in the northwestern section of Flathead Lake, accessed via Bierney Creek Road off Highway 93 near Lakeside, MT. The facility includes a courtesy dock to assist with launching and landing. This is a straightforward access point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to get on Montana's largest freshwater lake.

Parking is available on the street adjacent to the launch, though spaces may be limited during peak season. The concrete ramp provides reliable access year-round, making it suitable for various watercraft. Given its location on Flathead Lake—a large, scenic alpine lake—be prepared for variable wind and water conditions, particularly in summer months. This access point is convenient for paddlers exploring the northwestern section of the lake and offers a good launching spot for day trips or longer excursions.
