Unnatural in the sense that it is, for the most part, man made. It has, for many years, been ranked among Montana's Top 10 fishing destinations. The 3,000 acre reservoir is at an altitude of over 6,000 feet.
Georgetown Lake is technically a reservoir, originally created in the late 19th century by impounding North Fork Flint Creek in a meadow known as Georgetown Flats. In 1901, Flint Creek Dam was enlarged by the Montana Water, Electric Power, and Mining Company to produce electricity for nearby mining operations.
