About This Access Site
**Location & Facilities**
Riverside Park is a public boat access site in Polson on Flathead Lake, featuring a dedicated boat ramp with paved parking for trailers and vehicles, plus restrooms and docks for loading and unloading. The facility also serves as a popular swimming area, making it a multi-use recreation destination. This is one of only two public boat launches in Polson, making it a key access point for paddlers and boaters exploring Flathead Lake and the Flathead River.

**Best For**
This ramp is ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters launching onto Flathead Lake, Montana's largest freshwater lake. The site's amenities make it well-suited for day trips and recreational paddling. Those interested in the Flathead River system can also access river paddling from this location.

**Nearby Options**
If Riverside Park is full, paddlers can check the tribal boat launch north of KwaTaqNuk Resort at Salish Point, or explore other regional access points like Sportsman Bridge on the Flathead River east of Somers. Several undeveloped launches and day-use areas also exist along Riverside Road south of Polson.
