Missouri River

This boat ramp, managed by the Bismarck Parks and Recreation District, provides convenient access to the Missouri River in Burleigh County. The ramp is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to launch into this major river system. Before heading out, check current conditions on the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website (gf.nd.gov), as water levels and ramp usability can be affected by seasonal flooding, heavy rain, and weather events.

The Missouri River in this area offers opportunities for paddling and fishing. Be prepared for variable conditions, as the river's flow and water levels can change seasonally. Winter recreation is possible but comes with extreme temperatures and snow, so plan accordingly. The nearby Dakota Prairie National Grasslands offer additional recreation opportunities in the region, though note that fireworks are prohibited on Grasslands property.

For the most up-to-date information on ramp status, water conditions, and any seasonal closures or restrictions, contact the Bismarck Parks and Recreation District or visit the North Dakota Game and Fish Department's website before your visit.
