Boundary Dam Boat Ramp

The Boundary Dam Boat Ramp at the Forebay Recreation Area provides the primary water access to Boundary Reservoir and the Pend Oreille River, located adjacent to Boundary Dam near Metaline, Washington.

The facility includes a boat launch, day-use area with picnic tables and restrooms, and a nearby campground, making it an ideal starting point for paddling trips and fishing along the scenic 17. 5-mile reservoir.

Note that water levels and flows can fluctuate dramatically (2-8 feet) due to dam operations, creating potentially dangerous currents and rapids, so boaters should exercise caution and check conditions before launching.
