I always find this dam a point of interest. How about that walkway to the dam house? Lake Sherburne feeds into St Mary Lake and river which carries water across the state all the way to where I was raised in Havre, MT. It is part of the Milk River Project by the Bureau of Reclamation started around 1915. There are talks to fix up the system.

The project provides for storage of water from Swift Current Creek, a tributary of the St. Mary River, in Lake Sherburne behind Lake Sherburne Dam and diversion of St. Mary River water through a 29-mile canal discharging into the North Fork Milk River. The water then flows through Canada for 216 miles before returning to the United States.
