There are 3,576 acres of public lands surrounding Lake Sacajawea. These lands include fee lands that are federally-owned and managed by the Corps, as well as easement lands to which the Corps has specific rights or easements (i.e., flowage or access). There are 3,517.3 acres of Corps-managed lands that are utilized for public recreation purposes, wildlife habitat, wildlife mitigation, and water-connected industrial development. Public boat launching facilities are available at six locations along the shoreline, and there is a marina at Charbonneau Park.
The lock is a single-lift type with clear plan. It has clear dimensions of 86 feet by 675 feet, and a 15-foot minimum depth.
CAUTION: Ice Harbor Dam's forebay restricted area has been relocated which has set further limitations to boater access near the upstream end of the dam. For more Navigation information see our page at http://www.nww.usace.army.mil/Missions/Navigation/.
