Welcome to Koocanusa!

Each year, more than 100,000 people visit the Koocanusa area. On a typical summer weekend, tens of thousands of people are recreating in the Koocanusa.

With so many people enjoying this area, it’s important that we all do our part to keep this place clean, protect sensitive ecosystems, at-risk species, historical sites and cultural heritage, and help reduce the spread of invasive species.

You can play a play a part in conserving by:

• Reading the Recreation Management Strategy.
• Using the map to find boat launches, camping sites and services.
• Learning more about the area – the Kootenay river, history, and natural environment.
• Reviewing and using the Recreation Guidelines for recreating in the Koocanusa area.
