About This Access Site
**Location & Launch:** Pond 4 is a concrete boat ramp located at The Silos in Broadwater County, providing access to the Missouri River/Canyon Ferry Reservoir system. This is a functional launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats when water levels permit, making it a reliable option during normal conditions.
**What to Expect:** Canyon Ferry Reservoir spans 33,500 surface acres with 96 miles of shoreline, offering expansive paddling opportunities. The water body is popular for fishing (rainbow trout, perch, ling, and walleye), which means you may encounter anglers. Be aware that high winds are frequent on the reservoir and can become hazardous for smaller boats and paddlers. Below Totson Dam, the Missouri River transitions to approximately 22 miles of slow, moderate water with no major rapids.
**Amenities & Planning:** The broader Canyon Ferry area features multiple concrete boat ramps, campgrounds, day-use areas, shelters, and three marinas. Check current water levels before launching, as reservoir conditions can affect ramp accessibility. This access point works well for day trips or longer paddling adventures on the reservoir and downstream river sections.
