Pheasant Lake

Located in Ellendale in Dickey County, the Pheasant Lake boat ramp provides public access to the Elm River and Pheasant Lake for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. This is a reliable access point for exploring the area's waterways, whether you're planning a paddling trip or launching a larger vessel.

Before visiting, check current conditions with local authorities, as boat ramps in North Dakota can be affected by water levels, seasonal maintenance, or temporary closures due to construction or weather. Spring and summer are common seasons for ramp maintenance work. Water levels fluctuate seasonally, so if you're traveling from a distance, it's worth confirming the ramp is open and usable before making the trip. Look for any posted restrictions or closure notices at the site itself.
