About this site

Source

Set on a bench above a sheltered bay on Lake Koocanusa, this site trades easy water access for a bit of privacy. The way down is steep, so launching is realistically for cartop boats, and how much of a launch you get depends on where the reservoir level sits.

There are 22 sites, a mix of shaded and sunny, first come, first served at $15 a night on gravel.

Kragmont is about 12 km away and the nearest fuel is about 27 km, far enough to make it the first thing you plan. Edwards Lakes are about 8 km off.
