Harvey Dam offers convenient access for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters in Wells County, North Dakota. The site features a dedicated boat ramp along with multiple alternative launch points on the southern side of the dam, making it accessible for various watercraft. Access is generally easy with several spots suitable for standard vehicles, though be aware that banks can become soft during wet conditions. A bush toilet is available at the entrance to the launch area.
When planning your visit, note that Murray Road leading to the access site is primarily gravel. While this shouldn't prevent access, it's worth considering road conditions, especially after rain. The multiple launch options make Harvey Dam a flexible choice for paddlers looking to explore the water body, whether you're launching a kayak, canoe, or motorized vessel.
