Fort Peck Marina Plans Upgrades To Boat Ramp

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced plans to upgrade the Fort Peck Marina boat ramp Sept. 8.

The existing boat ramp consists of concrete and asphalt. High water over the last few years caused the base material under the asphalt to fail. The planned upgrades include removing the asphalt and extending the concrete an additional 100 feet above the existing concrete and above the high-water mark.

Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin Wednesday, Sept. 9, and will continue through the month, depending on conditions. Viking Construction of Nashua received the competitive bid.

The ramp will be closed during construction. Boaters can launch 2.5 miles west at Duck Creek Fishing Access Site or seven miles east at Flat Lake Recreation Area.

All other services at the marina remain open during construction including fuel, bait shop, restaurant and RV park. For more information, call USACE at 406-526-3411
