Located approximately 10 miles south of Ray in Williams County, the Kota-Ray Dam boat ramp provides access to the impounded water behind the dam. The ramp is situated at the south park entrance (5661 113th Dr NW, Ray, ND 58849) and remains open during park renovations, though access routes may vary throughout the year. The site offers a developed recreation area with camping, electric hookups, and facilities supporting boating activities.
Paddlers and boaters should note that the park underwent extensive renovation in 2024-2025, which may affect access routes and facility availability. The boat ramp is accessible year-round, with the south entrance serving boaters and water sports enthusiasts. For current information on hours, fees, conditions, and any temporary access changes due to ongoing construction, visit the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website at https://gf.nd.gov/. It's recommended to contact the park directly before visiting to confirm current conditions and the best route to reach the boat ramp.
