The Pathfinder Dam and Reservoir was a major feat of engineering when it was built in the first decade of the 1900's. It is now part of the National Register of Historic Places. In modern times, it hosts a wide variety of fish species for the sportsman: brown trout, cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, ohrid trout, and walleye. Rainbow and cutthroat trout are stocked annually in the reservoir.
