Big Creek Fishing Access Site

Big Creek River Access Site offers a concrete boat ramp and designated parking for paddlers accessing the North Fork Flathead River, located 19 miles north of Columbia Falls.

The adjacent Big Creek Campground provides camping facilities (22 standard sites plus group area), vault toilets, water, and a day-use area with picnic tables.

A $5 day-use fee applies for river access, and note that the mouth of Big Creek is closed to fishing to protect spawning bull trout habitat.
