About This Access Site
The Sheyenne River boat ramp in Lisbon provides access to a popular paddling destination in eastern North Dakota. This launch point puts you on a river that offers good paddling opportunities when water levels are adequate. The Sheyenne is most enjoyable at flows between 300-1,000 cubic feet per second; at lower flows (100-300 cfs), the river remains navigable but expect some exposed obstacles.

The Lisbon access is well-positioned for exploring the Sheyenne River Water Trail. From here, paddlers can travel downstream or explore the scenic sections of river that pass through the region. Be aware that spring and summer may bring boat ramp maintenance closures, so check ahead before planning your trip. Water levels and seasonal conditions significantly affect usability, making it worthwhile to check current flow data and conditions before launching.
