Fort Peck Reservoir

Fort Peck Dam was built from 1933 to 1940 by the US Army Core of Engineers; water impoundment began in 1937 and the reservoir was first filled to capacity in 1947. When filled, it has a volume of 18.7 million acre feet, covering 245,000 acres, making it the fifth largest man made lake in America

A Place to Get Away

Surrounded by the Charles M. Russel National Wildlife Refuge, there are only five places with cabins on the lake. There are over a million acres of water and public land allowing fishing, hunting, camping and unique bird watching. The Fort Peck area allows access to the outdoors in a way that few other places in the continental United States can.
