At full capacity there is approximately 360,000 surface-acres of water,\nmaking it the largest Corps reservoir in the United States. The lake stretches for approximately 178 miles and\nis approximately 6 miles wide at its widest location. The lake was created to benefit a number of regional uses\nslIch as recreation, water supply, hydropower and wildlife habitat.\nThe Lake Sakakawea Boating and Recreation Guide is a resource produced for those who want more\ninformation than what is provided by a standard lake brochure. Whether you plan to visit for the hunting,\nfish ing, camping or boati ng, we hope that this guide proves valuable to your visit. We hope that all visitors to\nthe lake have a quality, and safe, visit. Please make time and explore area sites to learn more about the history\nof the reg ion and its abundant Native American culture.\nA significant portion of this guide is dedicated to your safety. Please observe all safety reminders conta ined in\nthis gu id e and displayed around the lake during your visit. We want your visit, and the visits of others, to be\npleasant and enjoyable. Please feel free to contact us if we may be of further assistance.\nOperations Manager\nPage 2\nU.S. Army Corps of Engineers ~ Garrison Project\nP.O.

Use the refuse cans provided and help keep the areas clean for others who wish to enjoy the\nlake and the recreation fac il it ies. Many areas along the lake that are Llsed by the public have no refuse facilities.\nIf YOLI plan to visit one of these remote areas, take your refuse with you - if you pack it in, pack it out.\n• The average lake level shown is elevation 1830.7 feet above mean sea level (ms!). During the summer recreation\nseason, the normal operating range is expected to be between 1837.5 msl (base flood control) and 1850 msl\n(maximum normal operating poo!), wi th the lake near the lower level in the early spring and reach ing the upper\nlevel by mid,summer. L1ke levels are governed by several things: mountain and plains snow pack and spring\nra ins as well as regulation of all six main stem projects for the optimum use of the water for power generation,\nflood control, irr igation, downstream naviga tion, and municipal water supplies.\n• Due to fluctuations in lake elevations, submerged hazards may be encountered. Boat operators should exercise\nextreme caution at all times. The downstream Powerplant Tailrace is a water release area from Lake Sakakawea\nand is potentially dangerous to boaters. Observe the posted warning signs and fo llow directions.\n• Motor vehicle use is restricted to developed roads on project land.\n• Access to many undeveloped areas along the lake is limited and trails to these areas may pass through private\nor tribal property. Recreationists must contact adjacent land owners or tribal authorities before cross ing private\nland.\n• During adverse weather, poss ible in all seasons, unsurfaced roads can become impassable and users should listen\nto weather reports and watch the weather to avoid becoming stuck and stranded in a remote area. The rad io\nstations listed below, as well as those farther from the project, periodically give weather informat ion that can be\nhelpful to people using the project. These stations also broadcast storm watches and warnings.

Designated swim,\nming beaches are not fully developed and swimming is done at the individual's risk. Adults should supervise child\nswimmers at all times. All swimmers should be mindful of abrupt drop-offs and changi ng bottom characteristics.\n• Excavation and removal of archaeological and h istorical materia ls is prohibited by Federal law.\n• Hunting and fishing is allowed on Lake Sakakawea and project land, unless posted otherwise, in accordance\nwith the rules and regulat ions established by the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, and in some\ninstances, the Three Affiliated Tribes. These regulations may change annually, so hunters and fi shermen are\nadvised to review current regulations before engaging in these forms of recreation.\nHistorical Information Page 4\n\\\n\\\n, ,\nThe Missouri River\nand\nThe Lewis & Clark Bicentennial Commemoration\n~e watershed for the Missouri River provides drainage for approximately one--sixth of the United States.\nFrom the headwaters in Montana to the mouth in Missouri, the "Big Muddy" flows through seven\nstates. Its importance to the American economy and its history is unparalleled.\nFor over 200 years, the United States Army has had very close ties to the Missouri River. After all, Lewis,\nClark and most other explorers on the "Corps of Discovery" were men1bers of the U.S. Army. Over the\nyears, the Army has removed snags, protected banks, constructed a navigation channel, built flood control\n, levees, established fis heries, preserved cultural reSOLirces, enhanced recreation, built dams, and developed\nwildl ife habitats. The Army's relationship to the Missouri continues through today as the Corps of\nEngineers is the primary steward of the water and land along the most famous waterway in America.\nBeginning in 2003 and continuing through 2006, the Corps of Engineers will be participating with the\nNational Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Council, Native American Tribes and other Federal, State, and\nlocal governmen ts in the Bicentennial Commemoration of the famed Lewis and Clark Expedition. The\nCorps of Engineers wants you to enjoy the commemoration and has assembled the follow ing maps to\nass ist in your trave ls along the Missouri River.
