Nestled at the foot of the Selkirk Mountains just six miles east of Bonners Ferry, the 2,774-acre Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge provides diverse habitats for a large variety of wildlife including moose, elk, deer, bear, otter, bald eagles, and migratory waterfowl such as mallards, northern pintail, and teal. A 4.5-mile auto tour route and four fine hiking trails make this a great place to visit. One of those trails leads to Myrtle Creek Falls, an easy hike that the whole family can enjoy. Wetlands include open-water ponds, seasonal cattail-bulrush marshes, tree-lined ponds and rushing creeks; the refuge also has meadows, riparian forests and cultivated agricultural fields (for producing valuable wildlife food crops), interspersed in the valley bottom adjacent to the west banks of the Kootenai River.

The Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge was originally established back in 1964 as a refuge for migrating birds and waterfowl. Today, it’s home to over 220 different species including deer, elk, moose, bear, and loads of birds. The refuge spans over 2,774 acres and is a beautiful place to take in some nature and wildlife. It’s also free and open to the public year-round. In the winter, you can go snowshoeing or cross-country skiing here and in the summer, there are a range of activities from hunting, to fishing, to wildlife viewing and hiking. There are four main trails that run through the uplands, wetlands, and forest areas. One trail that is a must-see, is the Myrtle Falls Trail.

Close to Myrtle Creek Falls and Snow Creek Falls, this Wildlife Refuge is worth driving through. We have seen deer, swans, geese there and occasionally bigger game.
