About
Kootenai Falls is the largest undammed falls in the state and a major attraction to those traveling through the area. It offers an unforgettable and breathtaking view as the Kootenai River loses 300 feet in elevation traveling a few hundred yards down river. A pleasant surprise to any photographer or nature lover. An attraction at the falls is a swinging bridge that provides access to the opposite side of the Kootenai River, a prime Montana fishery. To the Kootenai tribe, the falls is a sacred site. They view it as the center of the world, a place where tribal members can commune with the spiritual forces that give direction to the tribe and to individual members.
Bighorn sheep, white-tailed deer, and mule deer may be seen on the Wildlife Management Area during any time of year, but are most observable from fall through spring. Black bears are regular fall visitors. Moose and elk are seen occasionally, while bobcats and mountain lions are often present but seldom viewed. Bald eagles are in the vicinity of the Wildlife Management Area throughout the year, while ospreys are common during spring and summer. Shorebirds, waterfowl and a host of songbirds can be seen along the river during much of the year.
