Hungry Horse Dam, an arch dam on the South Fork Flathead River, is one of the largest concrete dams in the United States. Completed in 1953, the immense Hungry Horse Dam is located in the Flathead National Forest in Flathead County and is surrounded by majestic mountains, creating an ideal environment for hiking, walking, and fishing. The dam is named after two strong freight horses that worked in the South Fork area that wandered away from their sleigh, were found starving, and had to be nursed back to health. The Hungry Horse Dam has a modern visitor center that is open daily and presents visitors with free informative talks upon request.
