Directions & Lake History/Factoid
Directions: From Glasgow, MT, take MT Highway 24 South 17 miles to Fort Peck. Or from Nashua, MT
take Highway 117 south 12 miles to Fort Peck.
Factoid: Fort Peck Dam, which impounds Fort Peck Lake is the first dam built in the upper Missouri
River Basin. The area surrounding Fort Peck was first charted by Lewis and Clark in 1804,
and the pristine natural condition of the river and surrounding area awed the renowned
explorers. When President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the Fort Peck project in 1933,
thousands of people from all over the country migrated to Montana during the midst of the
Great Depression in hopes of earning a living. Today, the vast size of Fort
Peck Lake and its remoteness from major population centers provides a variety of high
quality outdoor experiences including camping, boating, fishing, hunting,
sightseeing, and wildlife viewing. Fifteen hundred miles of pristine shoreline serve
as a haven for those wishing to get away from the stresses of modern life. There are
27 recreation areas located around the reservoir. The areas near and around the dam
offer paved roads, electricity, showers and playgrounds while facilities around the
rest of the lake are more primitive with gravel roads, picnic tables and vault
toilets.
