Is it true that Fort Peck Reservoir has more miles of shoreline than the California coast?
It’s hard to believe, but the reservoir, with its hundreds of arms and points, has nearly twice as many shoreline miles as California’s Pacific coastline: 1,520 miles (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) versus 840 (World Atlas USA). Fort Peck is also the largest hydraulically filled (water and sediments pumped from the river bottom to form the dam structure) dam in the United States.
