Located in Sully County near the Mission Creek inlet to Lake Oahe, the Little Bend Low Water Boat Ramp provides access to this expansive Missouri River reservoir. This low water ramp is designed for use during periods of lower water levels and is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. **Note: A park entrance license is required** to access this boat ramp, as it falls within South Dakota's recreation area boundaries.
Before visiting, check the current boat ramp status through South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks' Public Fishing Access Map, as water level conditions can affect ramp usability. The low water designation means this ramp is optimized for when Lake Oahe's water levels are reduced, so conditions may vary seasonally. Plan accordingly and verify access status before making the trip to ensure the ramp is operational for your visit.
