Located approximately 14 miles west of Havre, Fresno Reservoir has been providing flood control, irrigation, municipal water, and recreational opportunities to Montanans for 72 years. At full pool the reservoir encompasses more than 5,700 surface acres and provides excellent fishing opportunities for walleye, northern pike, yellow perch, black crappie and lake whitefish. Fresno Dam is owned and operated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which also administers public recreation and other facilities on the federal lands surrounding the reservoir. The Fresno Chapter of Walleyes Unlimited, a private nonprofit group, owns and operates a campground on the east side of the reservoir and maintains several boat slips as well as the courtesy docks located at Kremlin Bay and the main boat ramps.
