Fort Peck Lake

The Fort Peck Dam on the Missouri River created Fort Peck Lake, sometimes known as Lake Fort Peck, a significant reservoir in Montana. The lake, which covers parts of six counties, is located in eastern Montana's prairie region, about 230 km east of Great Falls and 190 km north of Billings.

The reservoir has 27 designated recreational locations that border its banks, making it a popular tourist destination. The 4,450 km2 Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge, which borders almost the entire reservoir, has conserved a large portion of the high prairie and hill region surrounding the lake. As part of an excavation, the lake appears in Jurassic Park III.

Numerous activities, including boating, swimming, and fishing, in particular, are very popular at Fort Peck Lake. The Fort Peck Marina, which is situated just west of the Fort Peck Dam, is a well-liked location to reach the lake. The vast Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge encircles the lake. The complex offers numerous options for hiking, camping, and exploration of this designated wildlife sanctuary.
