Adding to the region's natural beauty as attractions for visitors are some of the Corps of Engineers' most popular lakeside recreation areas. Corps lakes in the region range from very large ones on the Missouri River in the Dakotas and Montana to small multipurpose projects in Nebraska and Colorado. These projects serve numerous purposes, such as keeping the Missouri open to navigation, flood control, water supply and irrigation, and, of course, recreation . The Corps of Engineers Missouri River Information Center was developed to help travelers along the Missouri River. Whether you need lake level or powerplant discharge information or need to order a river/lake map, we are here to help you. Missouri River Information from St. Louis, Missouri - Three Forks, Montana

The Corps
of Engineers constructed six hydropower dams on the Upper
Missouri River creating Ft. Peck Lake (Ft. Peck Dam), Lake
Sakakawea (Garrison Dam), Lake Oahe (Oahe Dam), Lake Sharpe (Big Bend Dam), Lake Francis Case
(Ft. Randall Dam), and Lewis & Clark Lake (Gavins Point Dam). There
are no locks incorporated in any of these dam structures to
accommodate the passage of boats from one lake to the other on the
river. In order to make a journey up the river you will need to make
arrangements to portage or trailer your boats around the dams. This
service is not provided by the Corps of Engineers.
