Last Known Status | Open |
Located on the north eastern shores of the Koocanusa Reservoir, this area offers two separate sections that is open to all vehicle types. The 200 acre woods trail has three access points and about nine miles of trails that form a northern and southern loop.
The open play area is located below the high water mark and is roughly 3600 acres but varies due to fluctuating lake levels.
Primitive camping is permitted throughout the OHV area and is free year-round. For current lake levels and trail status contact the Rexford Ranger District before heading out.
