Located near Choteau in the Rocky Mountain Front region, Pishkun Reservoir offers 1,550 surface acres and 13 miles of shoreline for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters. The reservoir features an established boat ramp with nearby facilities including campsites, shelters, and toilets. This is a good access point for paddlers looking to explore a larger water body in a scenic mountain setting.
**Important Considerations:** Pishkun Reservoir is subject to extreme water level fluctuations throughout the year, which can affect launch conditions and water access. Plan your visit accordingly and check current conditions before launching. The reservoir is popular for fishing (kokanee salmon, northern pike, and rainbow trout) and offers both developed campsites and primitive camping options around the lake. Stays are limited to 14 days. Primitive camping is permitted around most of the shoreline, making this a good base for multi-day paddling trips in the area. Nearby outdoor recreation includes access to Ear Mountain and Willow Creek Reservoir within the Rocky Mountain Front.
