Here is a
happy salmon fisherman. This fish was caught in the Garrison Dam tailrace,
which is directly below Lake Sakakawea and 2 minutes from the Sakakawea
Motel. Click on these photos for larger views.
Rent this bucksbag and
float the Missouri River; makes for a very relaxing afternoon.
Tailrace Adventures has
canoes for rent.
Here is a picture of some fishing boats in the tailrace.
You will notice a lot of pelicans and seagulls looking for a free meal.
Birds and fish hang out below the dam as smelt come through the turbines
providing lunch for anything downstream.
Lake Sakakawea above the Garrison Dam and the Tailrace/Missouri River below. The result is that there is always something to do.
Don't take our word for it, experience Lake Sakakawea, the Garrison Dam Tailrace, and the Missouri River for yourself.
Canoe and raft rental - $40 per day + pickup charge.
