Blacktail Dam - Fishing Piers

Blacktail Dam offers three fishing piers on Blacktail Lake, located about 25 miles north of Williston, with a boat ramp, fish cleaning station, and dump station for visitor convenience.

The site features waterfront campsites with electric hookups, showers, and restrooms, though water access can be limited by surrounding vegetation and cattails.

Note that construction is ongoing through 2026 as part of the Williams County Parks Master Plan, so check ahead for current visitation conditions.
