Created by the construction of the 466 MW Noxon Dam hydroelectric project from 1955 to 1959, this reservoir provides a great bass and northern pike fishery. Also used for pleasure boating, water skiing and swimming, this can be a popular lake in the summer. There are no large towns nearby, the nearest town of any size being Thompson Falls, 33 miles upriver. There are several boat launch ramps along the reservoir. Highway 200 follows the reservoir for its entire length along the Clark Fork River Valley.
Coordinates given are at the downriver end of the reservoir at Noxon Dam.
