Located near Three Forks in Gallatin County, the Milwaukee Boat Ramp provides access to the Madison River adjacent to I-90 near the Milwaukee Bridge. This launch serves as a convenient takeout point for floaters completing longer stretches of the upper Madison River and as a put-in for shorter day trips. The ramp accommodates motorboats, kayaks, and canoes.
**Important Planning Note:** The section between Greycliff (upstream) and Milwaukee spans 16+ miles without intermediate boat ramps, making this a long, committed float. Paddlers should be aware that Cobblestone FAS offers a mid-point wade or carry-in access at approximately the halfway point for those seeking an alternative takeout. Those running the full distance should plan accordingly and watch for directional signage about 0.5 miles downstream of Greycliff South to ensure they stay right for proper ramp access.
This access point is suitable for paddlers and boaters of varying experience levels seeking to float productive trout waters on the Madison River.
