The boat ramp provides access to the Kootenai River, which is a popular destination for anglers and recreational boaters. The Kootenai River is a large river that flows through Montana, Idaho, and British Columbia, Canada.
The National Forest Development Road 2394 boat ramp is a concrete boat ramp that is approximately 16 feet wide. This boat ramp is suitable for launching small to medium-sized boats, including fishing boats, canoes, kayaks, and other recreational watercraft.
According to the latest information available, there are no restrictions on the types of boats that are permitted on the Kootenai River. However, anglers and boaters should check local regulations and restrictions before launching their boats. They should also practice safe boating and fishing techniques to protect the river's natural resources and wildlife.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

About National Forest Development Road 2394 Lincoln County
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
