How many public boat launches are there in North Dakota?
Boating Hubs maps 339 boat launches in North Dakota across 187 named waters. 339 are public access.
Which waters in North Dakota have the most boat launches?
By mapped launch count: Lake Sakakawea (52), Devils Lake (12), Missouri River (12), Red River (11) and Lake Ashtabula (9). Counts are the number of separate ramps on each water, not the number of lanes.
Is there a fee to use boat launches in North Dakota?
Launch fees are set by whoever manages the ramp, and Boating Hubs does not hold fee data for North Dakota yet, so check the managing agency or marina before you tow. Ramps marked semi-private may also require a permit or membership.

Launch data from the USGS National Boat Ramps dataset, released into the public domain (CC0). Confirm ramp conditions, fees, and seasonal access locally before you launch.
