Day 2 of Montana Adventure....Loading up in the Pick up with Dad and Mom and heading to Fort Peck...Dad is going to hunt...I am going to take pictures and relax, catch up on sleep. We will be staying in 
This registered historic site just off scenic U.S. Route 2 is in the center of some of the best hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation in Northeastern Montana. Their simple rustic decor will take you back to the 1930s and 40s. Mikel’s Restaurant, located in the hotel, offers exceptional dining with an emphasis on Cajun fare. In season, you can dine on their front porch. Relax on their front porch while watching deer wander through the beautiful park directly across the street. They are only a short walk from the Fort Peck Theater, and only minutes away from the dam, the Powerhouse Museum, and one of the largest man-made lakes in the country. Their comfortable lobby lounge is the perfect place to relax with your favorite cocktail and talk about the one that got away. I have been to the theatre and I hope to hit up the museum while we are there..President Franklin Roosevelt approved construction of the Fort Peck Dam on the Missouri River in 1933. During the height of the Great Depression, the project provided much-needed work for the legions of unemployed men. When filled to capacity, the dam impounds a reservoir of 247,000 acres. It stands 250 feet high and is 3500 feet wide at its base.
The Fort Peck Dam Powerhouse Museum offers a fossil record of the plants and creatures of the late Cretaceous period to help explain the geological history of the river. The lobby has models and exhibits which tell the story of the building, operation, and benefits of the dam. Tours of the massive power plant are available. Click HERE if you want to see photos of the dam.
