White Earth Campground

White Earth Campground offers a convenient boat launch on Canyon Ferry Reservoir, a 35-mile-long impoundment of the Missouri River located between the Big Belt and Elkhorn mountain ranges near Townsend, Montana. The facility includes a dedicated boat ramp with trailer parking, making it an accessible entry point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters exploring this scenic reservoir.
