Lake Metigoshe

Located at Lake Metigoshe State Park in Bottineau, this two-lane boat ramp provides excellent access to Lake Metigoshe, a scenic recreational lake nestled in the Turtle Mountains. The ramp is well-maintained and suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats. The state park offers ample amenities including designated parking, vault toilets, and a swim beach, making it a convenient base for a full day on the water.

The lake itself is popular for fishing and paddling, with multiple fishing docks available throughout the park if you want to explore different areas. The relatively calm waters make Lake Metigoshe accessible for paddlers of various skill levels. Additionally, adventurous paddlers can arrange portages to nearby Eramosh Lake for extended trips. The park's full facility offerings—including picnic areas, playgrounds, and an outdoor learning center—make this an excellent choice for families and groups planning extended visits to the area.
