Glacier Rim Boat Ramp

Glacier Rim River Access offers a concrete boat ramp and designated parking area on the North Fork Flathead River, located approximately 10 miles north of Columbia Falls.

The day-use-only site (sunrise to sunset) features a vault toilet and is popular with boaters and rafters, though it experiences heavy traffic from boat launches and can get crowded on weekends.

A maximum 16-day stay limit applies for camping, solid human waste containment is required, and the site is free with no fees charged.
