Montana's Missouri River Country
The rivers and lakes of Missouri River Country make the region a great place for boating in Montana. Whether your speed is epic adventuring or relaxing escapes, there are boating options for everyone.
Fort Peck Lake, a reservoir created by the Fort Peck Dam, is the fifth largest artificial lake in the United States and is a popular spot to spend a day on the water. Cruise in a speed boat or a pontoon boat, or try a fishing boat if angling is on your agenda. Enjoy time on the boat itself or use it to reach recreation areas along the lakeshore, where you can hike, fish, view wildlife or camp.
For quieter explorations of Missouri River Country lakes and rivers, give a kayak or canoe trip a try. Whatever boating excursion you choose, keep in mind that you’ll need a Montana conservation license to access state lands where you may launch a boat or visit a fishing access site. Then head out and experience all the fun of a day on the water in Montana’s Missouri River Country.
