Navratil Landing Public Water Access

Navratil Landing provides public boat ramp access to Upper Lewis and Clark Lake near the Bon Homme Colony in South Dakota. This access point accommodates vessels up to 18 feet and serves as a convenient launch for exploring the upper portion of Lewis and Clark Lake, which spans the Nebraska/South Dakota border. The landing is situated along a scenic stretch of water influenced by Gavins Point Dam, the southernmost of the Missouri River's main stem dams.

This ramp is a popular access point for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters exploring the region. The area provides proximity to both Lewis and Clark Lake's recreational opportunities and the Missouri National Recreational River ecosystem. Before visiting, check current conditions through South Dakota's Lake Finder tool or contact the Lewis and Clark SRA park office, as ramp maintenance or weather conditions may occasionally affect access. A vehicle permit may be required—verify specific requirements and any applicable fees before your trip.
