The Hwy 75. boat ramp is a basic site for river access only. This stretch of river is a popular fishing destination. The recommended use for travel to Fisher (no boat landing) and East Grand Forks (next boat ramp) is by motor boat. Canoeing this stretch is possible, but there is currently no public camping until East Grand Forks. The distances are long (22.3 miles to Fisher) and the river is very sluggish, but fishing for channel cats is fun!

The boat ramp allows easy access is large enough for small motor boats. This section of the river also is a popular fishing hole. Photo by D. Arscott.
