Fort Peck and the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge

Fort Peck Dam is the largest embankment dam in the United States. Built in the 30s as a Public Works Administration project, the 3.8-mile-long dam across the Missouri River created the fifth-largest man-made reservoir in the U.S. It’s about 134 miles long, with a depth of 220 feet when full, and offers more than 1,520 miles of shoreline. The Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge encloses the entire Fort Peck system within its borders. It was named for one of Montana’s most beloved artists, who portrayed this area’s rich diversity of wildlife and habitat in many of his paintings. Because of its remoteness, the area has changed very little in the past 200 years. You’ll find spectacular examples of river breaks badlands, along with native prairie, forested coulees, and tranquil river bottoms. Elk, mule deer, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, sage and sharp-tailed grouse, and bald eagles make the refuge home. Hunting and fishing opportunities abound, and boating is popular on the Missouri River and Fort Peck Reservoir. Several state parks and recreational areas have been developed within the refuge. Each fall, hundreds of elk congregate in the Slippery Ann Wildlife Viewing Area—a spectacle not to be missed. In an increasingly over-populated world, this remains a place where people and wildlife can still roam free. Campers can pitch a tent wherever they find a great vantage point or a cool stream. Hikers and horseback riders can explore the breaks to their hearts’ content, following wildlife trails, coulees, and creek bottoms just as the cowboys and Native Americans did centuries ago. This is no place for the faint-hearted—if you’re looking for manicured trails, you won’t find them here. What you’ll find is an invigorating connection to earth, sky, and the dynamic and unpredictable forces of nature.

Six species of upland game birds populate this area, including native Sharp-Tailed Grouse, Sage Grouse, and the migratory Mourning Dove.
