There are 11 dams which currently impound water and/or produce hydroelectric power on the Missouri River. These are: Canyon Ferry, Holter, Black Eagle, Rainbow, Ryan, and Fort Peck Dams in Montana; Garrison Dam in North Dakota; Oahe, Big Bend, Fort Randall, and Gavins Point Dams in South Dakota.
Grand Canyon Dam
It is a 3 hour drive from the Hoover dam to the Grand Canyon viewing areas. The Grand Canyon National Park actually adjoins the Lake Mead Recreational Area which surrounds the reservoir held back by Hoover Dam.
