Hehn-Schaffer Lake in Gackle, Stutsman County offers a public boat ramp access point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The lake supports a moderate population of perch and walleye, with a smaller pike population, making it suitable for fishing trips as well as general recreation. The access area features improved road shoulders and gravel surfacing for easier vehicle maneuvering to and from the ramp.
Be aware that boat ramps in North Dakota may experience seasonal closures or maintenance work during spring and summer months. Before visiting, check the North Dakota Game and Fish Department's "Where to Fish" page for current construction status and any temporary closures that might affect access. Water conditions and ramp usability can vary depending on the season and weather.
