Ducharme Access

Ducharme Fishing Access is an undeveloped, day-use-only site located 3 miles east of Polson on the south shore of Flathead Lake, offering a hand launch and boat ramp suitable for trailers 25 feet and smaller at high water levels.

This 51-acre site provides a quieter alternative to busier access points, with stunning views of Flathead Lake and the Mission Mountains but no facilities or camping.

Note that this is a seasonal site—contact the regional Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks office at 406-752-5501 for current open and closure dates.
