FORT PECK, Montana – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is upgrading the Fort Peck Marina boat ramp.

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 upgrade includes removing the asphalt and extending the concrete an additional 100 feet above the existing concrete and above the high-water mark.

Construction will continue through the month, depending on conditions. 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.
