**Not as scenic as Niagara but the dam itself is bigger than Niagara** It’s massive and magnificent to see and imagine how it was built in the 1930s during the Depression. The hike down is steep, but easily walked for all ages. There is a sign warning visitors that bears & mountain lions MAY be seen but unlikely. Worth a visit if dams aren’t something you see regularly in your own neighborhood. Although it’s called Kerr dam you may see signs referring to it as something with a Native name - I didn’t quite catch that part. Depending on when u visit you may or may not see the dams open. Montana has a bit of a dry/fire season July/August.

Ryan Island is a pretty little scenic spot to visit during the day. You walk across a bridge out to the island and there’s some walking paths and picnic areas. You can see the dam well from there. The island is only open during the summer and they do close the island during the night.

Worth a stop...we came down the other side of Koocanusa Lake and followed the road to Libby Dam Visitors Center! Watch both movies.....takes a total of about 20 minutes! Great information and displays. Our favorite was the Huckleberry Taffy we bought at the desk!!!! Worth a stop and tour if you can.

Even in heavy snow this was still a spectacular stop. At the stunning height of 564 ft. (172 m) it towers over the South Fork Flathead River. The length of the dam is 2115 ft. (645 m) and provides for great photo ops. The dam was finished in 1953 with cutting edge features at the time. One of the most notable features is the Morning Glory spill way, the highest of its type in the world. While the main uses are hydroelectric power, here but down river as well, flood control is another important function. The reservoir serves as a great recreation area for camping, boating, swimming, fishing and many other activities. Jewel Basin is adjacent and offers some of the most incredible hiking anywhere. This time of year the road past the dam, West Side Drive, (NF 895) is not maintained and may be difficult even with four wheel drive. The closest supplies are in Hungry Horse. Carry it in~ carry it out!!
