Lake Oahe stretches 231 miles from Oahe Dam all the way
north to Bismarck, N.D. This is the largest of the four Missouri
River reservoirs, and is known as the “Big Water.” North
Dakota contains about 60 miles of Lake Oahe, which extends
another 120 miles into South Dakota, where it ends at Oahe
Dam north of Pierre. The lake has a maximum depth of 205
feet. Swimming, water-skiing, camping, picnicking, fishing,
boating, and exceptional hunting are the most common
sports here.

North Dakota’s portion of the reservoir supports a walleye and northern pike fishery, along
with seldom tapped but enticing crappie, catfish and white bass possibilities. The fantastic
walleye and trophy northern pike should be enough to bring you to the lake. Anglers
usually target the healthy population of big pike and walleye on Lake Oahe.
