The Tabor boat ramp provides access to Middle Lewis and Clark Lake in southeast Bon Homme County, approximately 9 miles upriver from Gavins Point Dam. This lakeside use area is a convenient launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats exploring the scenic 100-mile stretch of the Missouri River that comprises Lewis and Clark Lake, straddling the Nebraska/South Dakota border. **Note:** A park entrance license is required to access this boat ramp and is available at a self-pay station.
When launching, be prepared for the lake environment: watch for high waves and increased recreational traffic from motorized and sailboats, particularly on busy weekends. The area features a small rocky beach and boat dock. Nearby Pierson Ranch Camp offers accommodation for those planning multi-day trips, while the Tabor Lakeside Use Area campground (6 miles south of Tabor off Highway 52) provides six first-come, first-served campsites with scenic bluff-top views of the lake. Lewis and Clark Lake offers extensive recreation across 27 areas, including hiking, biking, fishing, and bird-watching opportunities throughout the region.
