Stutsman County
Upon conducting research, it was found that the Stutsman County boat ramp is located on the eastern shore of the Jamestown Reservoir in North Dakota. It is an asphalt boat ramp that has a width of 20 feet.
According to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, the Jamestown Reservoir is a popular destination for fishing and water recreation. The reservoir spans over 2,000 acres and has a maximum depth of 45 feet. It is home to various fish species such as walleye, northern pike, bluegill, and crappie.
As for the kind of craft that are permitted on the water, the North Dakota Game and Fish Department states that the reservoir allows boats that are powered by electric motors, gas motors, or hand-powered propulsion. Watercraft such as kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards are also permitted.
Based on the information gathered, the Stutsman County boat ramp is an important access point for boaters and anglers who wish to explore the Jamestown Reservoir. Its location and width make it a convenient entry point for various watercraft.

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.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app
Save Stutsman County as a favorite, set a discharge threshold or a wind/precipitation alert, and the iOS app will push the moment conditions cross.
About Stutsman 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.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
