No open fires are allowed and there is a 7 day camping limit during a 30 day period. A joint state/tribal fishing license is required at this site and it is DAY USE ONLY from 10/1 through 4/30. A golf course is located nearby in Polson, as well as three museums. There is a $5.00 day use fee for non-residents and a $15.00 overnight camping fee.
