High flow releases from the Libby Dam have caused the Kootenai River to crest at 66.63 feet on Sunday, June 18, in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. Flood stage at this location is 64 feet. Because Libby Dam managers must leave the discharge high to release the high flow volumes coming into Lake Koocanusa, they will continue to have these high flows at least through Thursday, June 22. The high water has flooded the city park and threatens the Kootenai River Inn, which is being sandbagged. There were no reported injuries or structural damage as a result of the high water as of Sunday, June 18 in Bonners Ferry. National Weather Service map.
