Nelson Creek Boat Ramp

Nelson Creek Boat Ramp provides access to Fort Peck Lake's Big Dry Arm and is located within a primitive recreation area featuring 25 designated campsites with picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets.

The ramp accommodates various vessel sizes and is situated on a hard-packed gravel road that may become impassable when wet; camping is free with a 14-day limit.

The remote location offers excellent boondocking opportunities with minimal crowds, though visitors should stock supplies before arriving as nearby amenities are limited.
