About This Access Site
The Washburn boat ramp provides public access to the Missouri River in McLean County, North Dakota, near the town of Washburn. This is a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboat users looking to access the upper Missouri River system. The ramp's usability can vary seasonally and with water conditions, so it's worth checking current conditions before your trip, particularly after heavy rain or during high-water events.

For the most up-to-date information on ramp conditions, water levels, and any seasonal closures, contact the North Dakota Game and Fish Department at gf.nd.gov. Water conditions on the Missouri River can change significantly, so paddlers should also check current water flow and weather forecasts before launching. This access point is a good option for those exploring the Missouri River corridor in north-central North Dakota.
