Windy Point Boat Launch is a boat launch on the Upper Madison River in Montana, on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management's Dillon Field Office. It serves as a put-in for floating and fishing on the river. There is no fee to use the launch, and it is not reservable. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 80°F with lows in the upper 40s, while winter brings highs in the low to mid 30s and regular snow days from December through February. Palisades Campground is about 2 miles away, and Wall Creek Cabin is about 4 miles off. Hikers can try North Fork Wall Creek, about 2.5 miles away, or Hyde Creek, about 4.6 miles away.
