Bisbee Dam-Big Coulee

Bisbee Dam-Big Coulee is a 229-acre impoundment located in Towner County, North Dakota, offering a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. The lake reaches a maximum depth of 28 feet, making it suitable for various paddling activities and fishing. The boat ramp itself is wheelchair accessible, though paddlers should note that the road connecting to the pier is in rough condition and may present challenges for those with mobility concerns.

The access site provides a gateway to explore the scenic waters of Big Coulee and nearby paddling opportunities. Rock Lake National Wildlife Refuge, administered by the Devils Lake Wetland Management District, is located nearby and offers additional recreation options for those interested in wildlife viewing. Before launching, check local conditions and water levels, as dam-managed lakes can experience seasonal fluctuations. The area supports various fish species, making it popular with anglers as well as paddlers.
