Overview

Dunn Creek campground, situated on the Kootenai River, is the largest campground for the Libby Dam Project, but still offers visitors peace and quiet and plenty of space to enjoy the scenic surroundings.

Recreation

Water sports are the most common activity at the lake, and a boat ramp is open year-round in Souse Gulch. Recreations can also access downstream of the dam at 4 river launches. The nearby Visitor Center offers short films, informational guides, interpretive materials, and a gift shop. Visitors can enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, fishing, water skiing and jet skiing. Day users are likely to spot wildlife in the area with bald eagles, osprey, and most commonly, deer. A frisbee golf course is available in Souse Gulch and a second course is located downstream of the dam. A hiking and biking trail downstream of the dam will take visitors along the Kootenai River. Basketball hoops, playgrounds, corn hole boards, picnic tables and more offer plenty of space and recreation opportunities for families, groups of friends or solo visitors looking to get outside.

Facilities

Dunn Creek Campground offers 13 standard non-electric campsites near the water. Amenities include potable water, vault toilets, basketball hoop, and a boat ramp.

Just off the highway, this park sits on the banks of the river, making for a beautiful, quiet setting. We saw osprey and bald eagles soaring above and slept to the white noise of the water. This site is very large and private.
