Benton Lake Wetland Management District is located in the U.S. state of Montana and is the largest wetland district in the nation. Covering an area of 25,000 square miles (64,750 km²) the district extends from the Canadian border to Helena, Montana and from the east boundary of Glacier National Park and the foot of the Rocky Mountain Front eastward across the Great Plains to the city of Havre, Montana. Within the district are 22 Waterfowl Production Areas spanning 16,000 acres (64 km²) and another 61,000 acres (246 km²) under conservation easements with local landowners ensuring these areas will not be developed, yet will remain within private ownership. The district is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with headquarters located at Benton Lake National Wildlife Refuge.
