About This Access Site
**Location & Access**
Located in Macon, Roosevelt County, MT (48.0666, -105.5373), the Lewis and Clark boat ramp provides access to the Missouri River. Note that the ramp approach points downstream and can be difficult to spot from the water until you're nearly upon it, so watch carefully when approaching from upriver.

**Facilities & Services**
This access site offers a General Store with sandwiches, drinks, and snacks available for purchase. Food trucks operate daily from noon to 8 p.m., making it a convenient stop for longer paddling trips. The site is well-positioned for exploring this scenic segment of the Missouri River, with connections to the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge and opportunities to follow the historic Lewis and Clark water trail.

**Best For**
This is a solid put-in or take-out point for kayakers and canoeists paddling the Missouri River. The on-site amenities make it particularly useful as a mid-journey rest stop or meal break during multi-day expeditions on this segment of the water trail.
