About This Access Site
Reedy Flats is a concrete boat ramp providing access to the Big Fork River in Littlefork, Koochiching County. This access point serves as a convenient put-in and take-out for paddlers, boaters, and anglers looking to explore this scenic river system. The ramp accommodates canoes, kayaks, and motorized boats, making it suitable for various water recreationists.
The Big Fork River's lower 50-mile section is known for its diverse scenery—ranging from pastoral farmland to wild river valley—and excellent fishing opportunities for smallmouth bass, walleye, northern pike, and muskie. With seven canoe and small boat accesses scattered along this stretch, Reedy Flats is one of several options for planning day trips of varying distances. The access is publicly available and maintained for both trailer and carry-in use, allowing paddlers to structure trips that suit their needs without requiring vehicle shuttles between put-in and take-out points.
