About This Access Site
Lake Sakakawea State Park near Hazen offers convenient boat ramp access to one of North Dakota's largest reservoirs. The park features two dedicated boat ramps with courtesy docks: a multi-lane ramp on the west side and a single-lane ramp on the southeast side. Both provide reliable access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore this massive impoundment on the Missouri River.
Lake Sakakawea stretches 178 miles with 1,340 miles of scenic shoreline, making it ideal for extended paddling trips, day outings, and fishing. The park offers excellent facilities including bathroom amenities and a fish cleaning station. Nearby Downstream Campground (reservable) provides overnight lodging options for paddlers planning multi-day adventures. The calm, reservoir-style water makes this site particularly suitable for canoeists and recreational kayakers seeking protected paddling conditions.
