James Kipp Recreation Area is the primary takeout point for boaters floating the Upper Missouri National Wild and Scenic River's badlands section from Judith Landing, featuring a concrete boat ramp, 34 campsites (19 single and 15 multi-group), vault toilets, water, dump station, and picnic facilities on a first-come, first-served basis for $12/night.

The area serves as the terminus of the popular 4-5 day float trip and offers easy access via US Highway 191, though no potable water is available until reaching this location. Located within the Charles M.

Russell National Wildlife Refuge, it provides excellent opportunities for fishing, boating, and wildlife viewing in a fully developed riparian setting.
