Get Smart!
Four massive dams, completed in the early 1960s, sectioned the Missouri River into more than 900 square miles of open water and 3,000 miles of shoreline. Additionally, the dams and the lakes they created provide abundant opportunity for water activities, including boating, skiing, kayaking, personal water crafting and some of the nation’s best fresh-water fishing. Can you name the largest of the four dams?
