Good Things are Coming to Lake Oahe

Holding the distinction of the most well known of the six Main Stem Reservoirs on the Upper Missouri River, Lake Oahe is the gem of them all when it comes to opportunities for anglers. This huge Missouri River reservoir originates from the Oahe Dam near South Dakota’s state capital of Pierre and continues well into North Dakota, running approximately 231 miles, including 2,250 miles of shoreline and spanning 370,000 acres and a maximum depth of 205 feet. It is the fourth-largest reservoir in the United States, with 51 recreation areas providing excellent facilities and access for roughly 1.5 million visitors each year.
