About This Access Site
White Earth Dam is a public boat ramp located in Mountrail County, North Dakota, providing access to a 142-acre reservoir with approximately 5 miles of shoreline. This modest-sized impoundment is suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and small motorboats. The access point is reached via a gravel road that runs east-west along the water's edge, making it relatively straightforward to locate launching areas.

**Important seasonal considerations:** This site experiences significant snow coverage during winter months, which can limit accessibility. In winter, experienced paddlers sometimes access the lake directly from the gravel road when conditions allow, and local tracks may indicate safe routes onto the ice. Be prepared for variable conditions depending on the season, and check current weather and road status before visiting. The area also has residential properties nearby at White Earth Bay, so respect private property boundaries while launching and paddling.
