The town of Fort Peck is located about 18 miles south of Glasgow, Montana in Northeast Montana. The community is pleasant to visit, and the area pleasant to tour. Between 1907 and 1914, the rich Fort Peck fossil field was revealed to the world through the discoveries of Dr. Barnum Brown a leading authority on dinosaurs at that time. There have been spectacular findings including the only skeleton of the akylosaurus ever found, and the skeleton of the tyrannosaurs rex, the flesh-eating king of the dinosaurs.
I have read articles that you can drive south of the town of Fort Peck on dirt roads, and you can move 65 million years into the past. After spring run-offs, bones can be found in the lower areas. The trained eye can then follow what happened in the past from these signposts.
On the south side of the Fort Peck Lake is Hell Creek State Park that can be visited via State Highway 200 and then the road just north of Jordan, Montana, run-offs have exposed dinosaur bones at this location as well.
The Fort Peck Interpretive Center in the town of Fort Peck has information available for aspiring paleontologists to participate in "digs". For a fee, generally in the area of $1500.00, a dinosaur hunter can participate in a two week training program in what to look for and how to use the tools of the trade, making them able to dig for the signs of ancient life that will be made available for museums..
If your purpose for visiting the area is to do a dig, it is recommended that you contact the Fort Peck Interpretive Center, and/or the local authorities prior to doing your thing. There are rules, and regulations, that can and do apply.
The area has camping, picnicking, fishing and water sport availability.
