Kiwanis Park

About

Kiwanis Park is a day-use recreation area situated below Fort Peck Dam in northeastern Montana, within the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge. A shady grove of cottonwoods provides pleasant shade during summer months, with the leaves turning golden yellow in autumn. The park offers four group shelters with electricity available for day rental, along with flush bathrooms, vault toilets, grills, and established fire pits for day use. Recreation facilities include basketball and sand volleyball courts, horseshoe pits, playgrounds, and three fishing ponds including scenic Winter Harbor. A 3.34-mile paved Beaver Creek Nature Trail provides opportunities for wildlife viewing and connects to nearby facilities. The Fort Peck Interpretive Center and Museum is within walking distance. Important: Kiwanis Park is strictly a day-use facility with hours of operation from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. No overnight camping is permitted. For overnight stays, the adjacent Downstream Campground offers 86 campsites with electric hookups, showers, and full amenities.
