Kootenay River is one of the top destinations for adventurous tourists and spans southern British Columbia in Canada and northern Montana and Idaho in the United States. With its source up high in the Rocky Mountains, the river gently snakes its way through the narrow gorges and the forested valleys, leaving behind scenes that spell nothing but incredible river fun. You can spend a day fishing for bull trout and Westslope cutthroat trout in the pristine river. Enjoy the adrenaline rush that comes with rafting your way down the rapids. For a great time outdoors, organize a picnic in any of the numerous picnic sites by the river with the striking beauty of the Rocky Mountains as the background. If you’re itching for an adventure in the woods around Kootenay River, why not stay in a tranquil cabin? Check out the best cabin rentals near Kootenay River, USA, for stays.
