Quake Lake Access

Quake Lake Access provides a boat launch on Earthquake Lake along Highway 287 in Madison County, Montana, offering convenient access for boaters and anglers.

The shoreline is accessible directly from the highway, and the area features the nearby Earthquake Lake Visitor Center (open Memorial Day through mid-September) with interpretive displays about the 1959 earthquake that created the lake.

Note that float tube fishing is not recommended due to numerous submerged timbers below the surface and occasional high winds.
