Reservoir Reach
Welcome to the Reservoir Reach of Montana’s Missouri River. This reach includes Phillips, Valley, Garfield, and Petroleum counties and is home to some of the LARGEST features along the river – the Fort Peck Dam, which is the LARGEST hydraulically filled dam in the U.S.; the Fort Peck reservoir, which provides 25% of the total system storage for the LARGEST reservoir system in the U.S.; and the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge, the 2nd LARGEST National Wildlife Refuge in the continental United States.
