Welcome to northeast Montana where the recreational opportunities are as great as the western hospitality. Glasgow, recognized Superhost community, is the hub for business and agriculture in Northeast Montana. Fort Peck Lake is 17 miles SE of Glasgow. The lake is the largest hydraulic earth-filled dam in the world providing a lake of 130 miles in length and 1600 miles of shoreline. There is more shoreline than California or Florida. The dam itself is 4 miles long and 250 feet high. Fort Peck Lake encompasses the 1,000,000 acre C.M. Russell National Wildlife Game Refuge, 12 public recreation areas which include boat ramps, rest rooms, picnic shelters and camping facilities.

Other activities which take place on the lake include: Annual Ice Fishing Tournament (second weekend in February), Longest Dam Run (3rd weekend in June), Governor's Cup Walleye Tournament (2nd weekend in July) and a Poker Run by Boat on the 4th of July. Things to see and do in this area include: great fishing, boating, wind surfing, hunting, powerhouse tours including a dinosaur museum, Kiwanis Park (playground, horseshoe pits, amphitheater, nature trail, youth fishing ponds), Lewis & Clark Overlook, Fort Peck Summer Theater (June - September), Pioneer Museum 'From Dinosaur Bones to Moon Walk', Leo B.
