Outflow from Libby Dam will remain at 7,000 cubic feet per second through the rest of the August. Current release water temperature is in the low 50’s.
The current elevation of Koocanusa Reservoir is approximately 2,435 feet above sea level, which is approximately 24 feet from full pool. The projected elevation range for the summer is approximately 2,435 – 2,440 feet above sea level (about 24 – 19 feet from full pool), which will occur in early to mid-August.
The current surface temperature on Koocanusa Reservoir is in the low 60’s, but is warming as summer weather continues.
The floating platform at Souse Gulch is currently open. Please remember that boats are no longer permitted to dock at the platform due to safety concerns for people swimming in the area.
Come on out and enjoy the summer recreation opportunities! If you have questions or need additional information about daily tours, free picnic shelter reservations or no fee campsites please contact Park Ranger, Alana Mesenbrink at the Libby Dam Visitor Center, (406)-293-5577.
