The Pines is a public boat ramp providing access to Fort Peck Lake on the Missouri River in Valley County, Montana, located between Fort Peck and Glasgow. This is a non-reservable federal facility operated as part of the Fort Peck Project recreation area. The ramp features a concrete launch suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats accessing the expansive reservoir.
The surrounding recreation area offers amenities including a primitive campground with designated campsites, picnic tables, shelters, and campfire rings, along with interpretive signage about the area's natural and cultural resources. The location sits within the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge, making it an excellent base for exploring Fort Peck Lake's backcountry. For paddlers planning extended trips on the reservoir, note that alternative access points exist at other marinas around the lake, though this ramp provides convenient access from the Fort Peck/Glasgow corridor.
