About the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge
Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge, located at 287 West Side Road in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, is a beautiful park and tourist attraction offering a variety of recreation opportunities for visitors. The refuge, established in 1964, spans 2,774 acres and provides diverse habitats for a wide range of wildlife species.
Visitors can enjoy viewing unique geology and diverse wildlife while driving or hiking through the refuge. The refuge is primarily a sanctuary for migrating waterfowl, with wetlands, meadows, riparian areas, coniferous forests, and cultivated agricultural lands providing a safe haven for wildlife.
The refuge staff work diligently to manage and enhance habitats for plants and wildlife, ensuring the continued benefit of the American people. The proposed Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge Floodplain Reconnection Project aims to restore floodplain connectivity to the Kootenai River historic floodplain, enhancing 830 acres of riparian and wetland habitats.
A public meeting is being held on April 30 to discuss the project, and comments are being accepted until May 16. Visitors are encouraged to check with the Refuge headquarters for trail information, as some trails may be in closed areas for safety reasons. The refuge plays an important role in supporting over 300 species of wildlife, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts.

Reviews of Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge
"Beautiful nature preserve with well maintained hiking/walking paths. If you're lucky, you may see moose or deer. We saw hawks, a bald ealge, and a variety of geese and ducks. It's a very nice hike up to Myrtle Falls. Easy enough for the whole family, and the views are worth it."
"New Years day the husband,pup and I went for our first hike. This was a great hike and beautiful. The walk to the waterfall is pretty easy and family friendly. Going up past the Falls the trail gets pretty narrow and was really slick (it's winter). The restroom at the bottom of the trail was really clean! The Falls were beautiful and at the top it opens up and the view of the wetlands was breathtaking!!! Highly recommend!"
"Very beautiful place. It has a mix of mountains, rivers/creeks and valley plains. The main attraction seems to be the trail to Myrtle Falls, but there is more to it than that."
"A beautiful refuge in a gorgeous part of the country. I took the trail up to Myrtle Falls. The falls themselves are a bit hard to see due to trees but it was a pleasant short hike. The auto loop has a very well maintained road with a few wide spots. In all honesty the best time to visit isn't middle of the summer as there was virtually no waterfowl to be seen. My next visit will be for the fall bird migration when birds should be plentiful. All in all I had a nice visit."
"What a beautiful and peaceful place. It takes about 15 minutes to hike to Maple Falls and it's such a serene setting. I highly recommend a visit."
