About Englishman Creek
This is a large site located on the Lake Koocanusa reservoir where Englishman Creek flows into the lake. The site is divided into two separate sections with a bay between them. The sites are treed with mature Douglas Fir stands which provide shade to virtually all sites. A second bay offers a rough boat launch, although accessibility may be affected with the fluctuating water levels of the reservoir. Both bays as well as the lake shore offer opportunities for swimming, making this an ideal site for family activities.
This is a fee for service site.
