About This Access Site
Located in central Montana's Wheatland County near Martinsdale, this boat ramp provides access to Martinsdale Reservoir for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The site includes a boat launch facility, vault toilets, and a primitive campground accommodating both tent and trailer camping, making it a convenient base for a day trip or overnight outing.

**Important Note on Water Levels:** This reservoir is significantly drawn down during summer months for agricultural irrigation purposes. By August, water levels drop substantially and the boat ramp may become completely inaccessible. Paddlers and boaters should plan visits for spring or early summer when water levels are higher, or contact local resources to confirm current conditions before making the trip. Water levels fluctuate seasonally, so checking conditions ahead of time is essential for a successful visit.
