The Oahe Dam is a large dam that creates Lake Oahe, the fourth-largest man-made reservoir in the United States. The reservoir stretches 231 miles all the way up to Bismarck, North Dakota. The dam's power plant provides electricity for much of the north-central United States.

From this point, there is a great view of the dam and of the lake.
