Walstad is a day-use fishing and boating access site on Flathead Lake near Big Arm, Montana. The 2-acre facility features a concrete boat ramp and floating dock suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized vessels. Trailers up to 30 feet in length are permitted. The site includes an ADA-accessible restroom facility, making it a convenient stop for paddlers and boaters accessing Montana's largest freshwater lake.
As a year-round access point, Walstad provides reliable launching conditions throughout the seasons. The site's modest infrastructure and day-use-only status make it ideal for paddlers planning shorter outings on Flathead Lake or those looking for a straightforward launch point for exploring the Big Arm area. The floating dock is particularly helpful for launching and landing kayaks and canoes. Those planning extended trips should note the day-use limitation and plan accordingly.
