Lake Helena

Lake Helena is an artificial reservoir located about 10 miles southeast of the city of Helena, Montana in the western United States. The lake was created in the early 1900s by damming Tenmile Creek, a tributary of the Missouri River, to provide a reliable water supply for Helena. Lake Helena is used for recreational purposes such as fishing, boating, and swimming, and is stocked with several species of fish, including rainbow trout, kokanee salmon, and yellow perch. The lake is surrounded by public lands and is a popular destination for hiking, camping, and wildlife viewing.
