About Fort Peck
Fort Peck began as a planned 1930s government town, built to house the thousands of workers constructing the Fort Peck Dam along the Missouri River. Today, it has settled into a quiet community of roughly 240 people. You can still see that early era across town, from the original wooden houses and classic administration buildings to the Swiss chalet-style Fort Peck Theatre, which still puts on live plays every summer.
Daily life here centers on the water and the outdoors. Fort Peck Lake spreads out with over 1,500 miles of shoreline, making it a great base for boating, hunting, and walleye fishing. The Army Corps of Engineers still maintains the dam, power plants, and surrounding parks, giving the town a clean, well-ordered feel for anyone looking for a peaceful spot in northeastern Montana.
